Ferrari is the most beloved brand in the world of four wheels, and its engines are legendary. Here’s who makes them.
The most desired cars in the world are undoubtedly the Ferrariimmortal myths that manage to successfully renew themselves from year to year, sending fans into raptures. Two major new models are planned for 2024, namely the new 12Cylinder and the successor to the LaFerrariwith the first one having already been unveiled in Miami, just over a month ago, while the second one will arrive during the year, and will be a stratospheric racing car.
According to rumors, it will be powered by a V6 twin-turbo Plug-In Hybrid, with the thermal part that will be identical to that of the 499P Hypercar, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year. Ferrari has everything it takes to continue to delight its customers around the worldeven if in just over a year, something will happen that will be very unpleasant for the purists.
Indeed, everything is ready for the advent of the first full electric Red in history, which will be revealed, barring future twists and changes, in the last quarter of 2025. According to the first rumors circulating around a project kept top secret, it will have an engine that will sing like a V12 thanks to a special system that it will simulate the sound of a thermal engine, and it will be a Gran Turismo, probably a 2+2. There is certainly a lot of waiting for this project, but in the meantime, we will reveal some curiosities about the engines from the Maranello company.
Ferrari, this is who makes its engines
For those who have even the slightest doubt, we decided to create this article, to underline the absolute certainty of the production of the engines Ferrari, which are obviously made by the brand itself and without external supplies, if not for some components that make up the engine. Both the V6, V8 and V12 are produced in Maranello, in the New Mechanics department, and it is here that the jewels are made, made entirely of aluminium, with the sole exception of the crankshaft.
So, Ferrari produces its own engines independently, and the same will be the case for that of the first electric one, as well as for the hybrids that have been mounted on supercars for years. This splendid story, linked to a production that has always been done at home, will certainly never end as far as Cavallino is concerned, unlike many other Italian brands now sold off abroad.
