The new, larger 2400 V6 had increased its power to 132 kW using a new cast iron engine block in place of the previous light alloy version. • The most noticeable benefit of this increased displacement was a considerable increase in available torque – particularly at lower RPM’s. • The advanced Magneti Marelli Dinoplex C electronic capacitive discharge ignition was developed exclusively for the high-revving Dino V6. • Whilst the original 2000 Dino utilized a rigid axle suspended by leaf springs and four shock absorbers, the new 2400 engine cars introduced a new fully independent coil-sprung rear suspension. • The car also has four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes - the upgraded Girling brake package of the Dino 2400 were also used by other manufacturers such as De Tomaso and Lamborghini.
