In 1958 the Formula 1 car was elaborated from the Dino 156 Ferrari model of 1957.
The chassis structure was composed of two main tubes and other tubes of smaller diameter. Initially it mounted drum brakes and De Dion rear axle, multiple-disk clutch, 4-speed transmission and integral differential. This 1960 version, however, mounts disk brakes.
It was in a 246 F1 that Mike Hawthorn won the World Championship in 1958.
During 2001, the Ferrari company and the Museum restored this vehicle’s mechanicals and exterior from its original drawings and with original materials.
