It was developed as a Formula 2 engine from the mid-fifties, so they'd had over a decade to refine it by the time it went into the Dino.

The best part is how they know every shortcut down every obscure, narrow, one-way back alley. I've taken cabs on journeys that I've driven myself dozens of times, and never fail to be amazed by the weird routes they find to avoid busy junctions.
