Ferrari intended to produce at least fifty examples for homologation by the CSI in the Sport 2.0 L Group 4 category.

[7] In 1967, at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Pininfarina presented a concept car based on a penultimate 206 S chassis, the Dino Berlinetta Competizione.

[9] The 65° V6 engine, mounted longitudinally in the rear, displaced 2.0-litres (1,986.60 cc (121.2 cu in)) from 86 by 57 mm (3.4 by 2.2 in) of bore and stroke.

This Dino engine received a newly designed combustion chamber derived directly from the Formula One experience.

Most engines were equipped with three classic Weber 40DCN15 carburettors but some received the Lucas indirect fuel injection.

[10] The first racing result was a fifth place in the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring, driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti.

Jean Guichet and Giancarlo Baghetti finished the race in second place also with a class win.

[12] 1000 km Spa netted sixth and first in the prototype class for Richard Attwood and Jean Guichet.

[15] Ludovico Scarfiotti, a 1962 and 1965 European Hill Climb champion entered, with success, many hillclimb events in the 206 S. His 1965 championship was achieved in an earlier Dino model, the 206 SP.

[3] And so for 1966, Ludovico Scarfiotti achieved a second overall place at the European Hill Climb Championship, behind Gerhard Mitter in a dominant Porsche 910 Coupé.

In 1966, he placed sixth at the Trento-Bondone Hill Climb, but was unable to finish the dramatic race on the next two occasions.

[18] The Dino 206 S race cars from the period are collectable but are not fetching as high prices as their bigger Ferrari siblings.

Chassis number 006 car with an original Piero Drogo bodywork was sold in 2012 at RM Sotheby's auction for €2.5 million.

[19] The same auction house offered a s/n 028 car, as driven by Edoardo Lualdi-Gabardi in various hillclimbing events, but extensively converted at the later stage of its career.
