Engine technology with Formula 1 DNA

The turbocharger is positioned inside the "V." This makes the engines of the 296 model family even more compact, and the mass is distributed optimally. At the same time, weight is saved. Ferrari engineers also call the V6 engine the "Piccola Dodici" ("little twelve-cylinder") because of its unique sound. The sound combines the intensity of the turbo with the harmonious note of a typical Ferrari V12 engine. The combustion engine is complemented by an electric motor positioned between the combustion engine and the transmission, which increases the engine's power by an additional 167 hp, for a total of 830 hp.

This turbocharged V6 PHEV architecture has also been used in all Formula 1 cars since 2014. Racing engineers also rely on the technology because it offers high specific power and instant response at low engine speeds, enabling a significant increase in performance and efficiency.

The roots of the 120° V6 engine architecture date back to 1961 with the 249 SP, which won the Targa Florio in 1961 and 1962. In 1961, Ferrari won another title with the 120° V6 architecture. Ferrari won the Formula 1 Constructors' title for the first time with the 156 F1.

The mid-mounted turbos were first installed in the 126 CK in 1981. The following year, Formula 1 history was made with the Ferrari 126 C2. For the first time, a turbocharged racing car won a world championship. The triumph was repeated in 1983.
