New Ferrari engine details emerge on the web

Ferrari engine patent

There are reports coming out that Ferrari has applied for a patent for a turbocharged powerplant. The carmaker has been working on the engine for a number of years and details have come from patent drawings for a hybrid 4×4 system were discovered.

The patent is for a turbocharged internal combustion unit with a V configuration, and even though the number of cylinders wasn’t specified, the renditions point to a V8. There are speculations suggesting that the automaker is also thinking about turbo V6 units. The powerplant uses two equally-sized turbos and is also the downsizing strategy of Ferrari which implies that it will employ smaller powerplants but with the same or more power than the existing naturally-ventilated powerplants. The V engine can fit two turbos better than a single one because they are more efficient by virtue of shorter pipe runs.
