Ferrar's turbocharged V8 wins International Engine of the Year Award
06 Jul 2017|1,971 views
For the second year running, the 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that powers the Ferrari 488 GTB, 488 Spider and - with a slightly smaller displacement - the California T and GTC4Lusso T, has taken the outright International Engine of the Year Award (IEOTYA) along with the Performance Engine class; as well as the 3.0-litre and 4.0-litre displacement category. Since its introduction in 1999, the IEOTYA has become one of the industry's most coveted honours.
As well as dominating the award's Above 4.0-litre and Performance Engine categories in the past six years, Ferrari has now taken a record number of wins for any high-performance sports car manufacturer. This year also saw Ferrari's naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 engine, which powers the F12berlinetta and F12tdf, receive the Above 4.0-litre award for the second consecutive year, and for the third time after the distinction awarded in 2013.
This result for the V12 is even more significant this year, as it is this power unit that hailed the start of the glorious Prancing Horse story 70 years ago in 1947. A concentration of uncompromising engineering solutions, Ferrari's return to twin-turbo technology and a progressive delivery of power and torque throughout the rev range maintain unprecedented levels of driver involvement.
