Let’s see which one of Ferrari’s engines comes out on top.
Since its humble beginnings as a small-batch sports car workshop, Ferrari has always been known for fitting massive engines inside small, lightweight chassis. It began with the legendary 1947 Ferrari 125s with its 1.5L V12, and the tradition continues today with exclusive examples like the 812 Competizione. And while the V12 is unfortunately making its slow exit from regular production, Ferrari has found ways to create the visceral experience it’s known for through turbocharged V8 and hybrid-assisted V6 engines. With such a diverse lineup of performance powertrains, Carwow decided to put them all in a head-to-head race to see which would remain victorious as Ferrari’s fastest engine configuration. The weapons of choice pulled from Ferrari’s stable for the epic drag race are the 812 Superfast, SF90 Stradale, and 296 GTB.
Starting off in the hybrid supercar category, the 296 GTB features Ferrari’s first 6-cylinder, which is accompanied by a set of turbochargers and a 123kW electric motor to make an impressive 819 horsepower. Its bigger sibling, the SF90 Stradale, uses the same complex configuration but uses a V8 to crank out 986 horsepower. The 812 Superfast is a whole other animal, showcasing a front-engine design that houses a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 that makes 789 horsepower and instant torque. With weight, aero, and horsepower in mind, it’s hard to put your bet on any of them because of the benefits that each has to offer. While the Ferrari 296 GTB boasts a lightweight V6 design and the Ferrari 812 Superfast off-the-line speed from its massive V12, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale proves to hold the perfect recipe with a sizable engine assisted with state-of-the-art hybrid performance.
