The Ferrari 246 F1-66 (also known as 158/246[2]) was a racing car used by Scuderia Ferrari and Reg Parnell Racing during the 1966 Formula One season. It was used in a total of 4 races by 3 drivers, achieving a second and a third place. It was used during the season alongside the Ferrari 312. The design and dimensions of the car were almost identical to the Ferrari 158, except for the bigger 2.4-litre (2404.74 cc) engine; the chassis type used on both models was also the same (Type 579). The power output was 249 PS (183 kW; 246 hp) at 8500 rpm.[3] The same engine, but with four valves, would see further use in the Dino 246 Tasmania.
