Ferrari dominates at International Engine of the Year Awards
Ferrari’s turbo-charged V8 is the overall winner of the International Engine of the Year, which was held at the Engine Expo 2016 in Stuttgard on Wednesday (1 June 2016).
In addition to winning the most important award of all, Ferrari took a record amount of other titles at the ceremony.
“Ferrari took the most important of them all, the overall International Engine of the year Award, with the twin-turbo V8 that powers the 488 GTB, 488 Spider and, with a slightly different displacement, the California T. In fact, this engine also won the Performance Engine and New Engine categories, as well as the 3-litre to 4-litre displacement category,” said a PR from Scuderia South Africa.
Also for the Above 4-litre award was Ferrari’s 6.3-litre V12 engine that powers the F12berlinetta and F12edF.
According to Graham Johnson, co-chairman, International Engine of the Year Awards, “It’s a great leap forward for turbocharged engines in terms of efficiency, performance and flexibility. It truly is the best engine in production today and will forever be remembered as one of the all-time greats.”
