The 1972 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé represents one of the most fascinating Italian grand tourers of its generation, combining elegant Bertone styling with a Ferrari-derived Dino V6 engine.
Developed as the more mature evolution of the earlier Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé, the 2400 offered increased displacement, stronger performance and a more refined grand touring character.
This particular 1972 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé was previously handled and sold by Giro Classico and is now preserved within our archive of significant Italian classic and collector cars.
1972 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé
The Fiat Dino was born from an extraordinary period of collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari.
Its development was closely connected with Ferrari’s need to homologate the Dino V6 engine for competition use, resulting in one of the most interesting technical partnerships in post-war Italian automotive history.
The Fiat Dino Coupé combined:
- Bertone-designed coachwork
- Ferrari-derived Dino V6 engine
- front-engine layout
- rear-wheel drive
- manual transmission
- four-seat grand touring configuration
- elegant fastback proportions
- authentic Italian performance-car character
The 2400 Coupé represented the final and most developed evolution of the model.
The 2.4-Litre Dino V6
At the heart of the Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé is its celebrated V6 engine.
Compared with the earlier two-litre version, the increased displacement delivered:
- greater torque
- stronger mid-range performance
- improved flexibility
- more effortless long-distance driving
- a more mature grand touring character
The Dino V6 remains one of the principal reasons collectors are attracted to the model today.
Its technical relationship with Ferrari gives the Fiat Dino a unique position within the classic Italian car market: it is unmistakably a Fiat, yet its engineering belongs to one of the most important chapters in Ferrari’s V6 history.
Bertone Design
The Fiat Dino Coupé was styled by Bertone and remains one of the most distinctive Italian grand touring designs of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Its proportions are characterised by:
- long bonnet
- elegant fastback roofline
- four-seat cabin
- large glass area
- balanced side profile
- restrained Italian detailing
Unlike the open Fiat Dino Spider, designed by Pininfarina, the Bertone Coupé was conceived as a more practical high-speed grand tourer.
It offered genuine rear seating and greater long-distance usability while retaining a highly individual sporting character.
From Fiat Dino 2000 to Dino 2400
The Fiat Dino 2400 was developed as an evolution of the earlier 2000 model rather than a completely different car.
The transition brought several important improvements, including:
- increased engine displacement
- more torque
- stronger performance
- mechanical refinements
- improved touring ability
- greater overall maturity
The earlier Dino 2000 retains a lighter and more distinctly 1960s character, while the 2400 represents the final development of the Fiat Dino concept.
For collectors, both versions offer a different interpretation of the same extraordinary Fiat-Ferrari collaboration.
Why the Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé Is Collectible
The Fiat Dino occupies a distinctive position among Italian collector cars.
Its appeal combines:
- Ferrari-derived Dino V6 engineering
- Bertone styling
- manual transmission
- rear-wheel drive
- Italian grand touring character
- relatively limited production
- historical importance
- increasing scarcity of correct examples
The 2400 Coupé is especially appealing to enthusiasts looking for an Italian classic that combines mechanical pedigree with considerably more practicality than many contemporary sports cars.
What to Look for When Buying a Fiat Dino
Condition, originality and documentation are especially important when assessing a Fiat Dino Coupé.
Areas worth examining include:
- body corrosion
- previous structural repairs
- engine condition
- cooling system
- timing and mechanical maintenance
- gearbox operation
- suspension
- braking system
- interior correctness
- Bertone-specific trim
- documentation
- restoration history
- provenance
A well-documented Fiat Dino that retains the correct specification can be significantly more desirable than an apparently attractive example with an unclear history.
