#Ferrari
I just heard from a source at Maranello HQ, Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) is getting ready to give its V12 engines some similar treatment to keep them alive.
That info contradicts some earlier reports that suggested Ferrari would add hybrid technology to its V12s but stick with naturally aspirated power. The source claims that while the cylinder count will not drop, the V12’s cubic capacity will be reduced from its current 6.5-liters.
Turbocharging the V12 makes sense.
Ferrari made the switch from naturally aspirated V8s to turbocharged V8s more than 5 yrs ago, and though plenty of people are nostalgic the 488 and F8 that followed were faster and more efficient. And in the case of the Portofino and Roma, the more relaxed nature of the turbo engines suits the GT cars’ characters better.
If, as rumored, Ferrari puts a V12 into its coming Purosangue FUV, then that would probably be a natural fit for a turbocharged V12 and its strong low-rev pull, while all-wheel drive would help control a power output that will Top 1000hp in its highly tuned form set Ferrari’s crossover way above the rest.
Conversely, turbocharging would also enable Ferrari to endow its next hypercar with the power necessary to put the kind of clean air between itself and the LaFerrari that the LaFerrari did between itself and its Enzo predecessor. Stay tuned…
