About the Ferrari Dino 246 GT #46 Red Anson 1:18

TL;DR: Anson's 1:18 diecast Ferrari Dino 246 GT #46 in red reproduces the mid-engine V6 coupe Ferrari built without its own badge, in a period-style racing livery. An accessible entry point into a genuinely distinctive chapter of Ferrari engineering, it suits a GT racing or Ferrari lineage collection.

Ferrari deliberately withheld its prancing horse badge from the Dino, and that decision alone makes the car worth understanding before judging this diecast on looks alone.

Anson's Diecast Interpretation of the Dino's Racing Livery

The Dino 246 GT's compact, curvaceous mid-engine body is a distinctly different shape from Ferrari's front-engine V12 grand tourers of the same period, and Anson's tooling holds the coupe's low, flowing roofline and rounded rear haunches reasonably well for an entry-tier diecast subject. The red livery with white number 46 roundel gives the model genuine period racing character, and the paint holds even coverage across the Dino's compound curves without flattening the shape. As an accessible diecast brand, Anson's execution sits closer to mass-market tolerances than premium resin work, with simplified interior trim and less refined panel gaps, but the mid-engine proportions, shorter nose, cab-forward stance, that actually distinguish a Dino from any other Ferrari come through clearly enough to satisfy a collector chasing the shape rather than fine detail.

The Dino's Unusual Place in Ferrari's Lineup

Ferrari built the Dino 246 GT without its own marque badge, instead naming the car after Enzo Ferrari's son and using it partly to test mid-engine layouts and V6 power outside the main Ferrari-badged range, and partly to compete with smaller-engined rivals from Porsche and Lotus. Despite the missing badge, the Dino has come to be regarded as thoroughly Ferrari in character, and racing examples like this liveried #46 helped prove the mid-engine layout that would eventually influence Ferrari's own future flagships. For a GT racing shelf or a broader Ferrari collection, the Dino tells a story the front-engine cars cannot, one of experimentation that Maranello initially kept at arm's length before fully embracing.
