The Evolution of Ferrari's V12 Engines
The Ferrari brand's association with the V12 engine dates back to the company's founding in 1947. The very first Ferrari, the 125 S, was powered by a 1.5-liter V12 designed by Gioacchino Colombo. This engine would go on to be used in various forms in Ferrari models until 1989, undergoing increases in displacement up to 4.9 liters.
In 2002, Ferrari introduced a new family of V12 engines with the F140 in the limited-edition Enzo supercar. Manufactured in Maranello, Italy, this 6.0-liter V12 was the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the world at the time.
