List of Ferrari engines

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

Straight-2

Straight-3

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

  • Tipo F134

Straight-4

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

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

V6

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.

V8

V10

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