List of Ferrari engines

Summary

This is a list of internal combustion engines manufactured by Ferrari.

Straight-2 edit

Ferrari was rare among automobile manufacturers in attempting to build a straight-2 automobile engine. The racing prototype never made it to production.[1]

During the 90s Ferrari developed an experimental straight-3 two-stroke engine.[2]

  • Tipo F134
    • 1994 1347 cc – prototype

Straight-4 edit

 
The Lampredi 500 four cylinder (TR version)

Lampredi designed a straight-4 engine for Formula Two use. Different versions of this engine were later used in Formula One and sports car racing.

Straight-6 edit

Lampredi also modified his four into a straight-6 for racing use.

V6 edit

Ferrari's Dino project of the late 1956 gave birth to the company's well-known 65° V6 DOHC engines. This Vittorio Jano design formed the basis of the company's modern engines right up through the mid-2000s (decade). Another series of V6 engines was started in 1959 with a 60° V-angle and single overhead camshafts design.

V10 edit

Ferrari used V10 engines only for F1 racecars, between 1996 and 2005.
