1959 Dino 246/256 F1.



In 1959 the F1 cars were almost identical to the previous year. Thanks to some small improvements the Dino engine had an increased maximum power of 300hp at 9000rpm.
It had a De Dion rear and helical springs rather than leaf-springs. Independent suspension was introduced in 1960. These Dinos raced against the revolutionary rear engined Coopers and won the 1959 and 1960 World Championships.
