Ferrari new Engine’s

The news that every future Ferrari engine will be mixed by either turbos or electricity comes just days after longtime company chairman Luca di Montezemolo said to Fiat-Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne.

The technologies will be split along engine types, too: after an interview with powertrain director Vittorio Dini, reports that all next-gen Ferrari V-8s will be turbocharged like the one in the 2015 California T, and they’ll also likely decrease in displacement. And it’s also probable that every V-12 will receive electrification as seen on the LaFerrari.

Much as Formula 1 has introduced turbos and hybrid power, Ferrari says those technologies are the only ways it can meet emissions laws while increasing performance. There are no plans to combine forced-induction with hybridization, however; V-8s will get pressurized, but since Dini says the V-12s would require four turbos, they’d get too large and radiate too much heat. Instead, they’ll get their boost from lithium-ion batteries and electric motors.
