The engine

6.5L NA V12

6.5L Naturally-Aspirated V12

Ferrari's naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 is one of the last of a dying breed — no turbos, no hybrid filler, just a spine-tingling shriek that climbs toward a 9,000-rpm redline.

The V12 is Ferrari's founding engine; Enzo built his first car around one in 1947, and this 65-degree unit is the direct, naturally-aspirated descendant of that 75-year bloodline.

It revs beyond 9,000 rpm — extraordinary for such a large engine.
Ferrari has built a V12 every year since 1947; it's the engine the company was founded on.
