Reborn Ferrari Dino hybrid V6 set for June 24 debut

Ferrari has confirmed it will pull the drapes off a 'revolutionary' new supercar on June 24 that's rumoured to be the Italian supercar-maker’s new electrified challenger for the McLaren Artura.

A video preview has been released, but no firm details on the spiritual successor to the V6-powered Ferrari Dino.

Instead, the short video focuses on Esports 2019 champ David Tonizza presumably driving the next-gen Ferrari in the virtual world.

There's no glimpse of the vehicle itself, but the steering wheel used by the gamer is thought to be lifted from the production car, while the brief clip of the Ferrari being fired up is thought to be a recording of the production model's V6 hybrid.

Believed to have been developed under the F171 codename and pictured here in fresh spy shots, the new entry-level Ferrari will benefit from the know-how accrued while developing the advanced Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

Instead of a 750kW 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol-electric V8, the new entry model will again feature a V6-based powertrain.

But not just any V6. The reborn Dino is expected to come equipped with an advanced twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 that will be boosted by a single electric motor.

That electric motor will be neatly packaged within the transmission, so the latest Ferrari supercar will miss out on the SF90 hypercar’s all-wheel drive system and remain rear-driven.

Rumoured to offer limited electric-only running, the Dino reboot won’t be capable of being plugged in, but should still come close to matching the McLaren Artura for engine performance.

Expect around 500kW of power and 700Nm of torque.

With that level of power, a 0-100km/h acceleration time of less than three seconds is probable, along with a 320km/h top speed.

The same electrified powertrain will resurface in other Ferrari models and is set to provide the basis for the entry-level Ferrari Purosangue SUV.

Rumours of Ferrari returning to a more affordable V6-powered sports car have been rife for years now, many of them fuelled by former CEO, the late Sergio Marchionne, who declared it was "not a question of if, but when".

Not that the Ferrari Dino successor will be cheap. The V6 hybrid supercar will be an indirect replacement for the current Ferrari F8 Tributo and is expected to cost around $400,000.
