Keeping the V12 Alive<\/h2>\n

While the future of supercars and hypercars may be electric, Ferrari<\/a> isn’t ready to let the V12 engine die. The company has just recently filed a new patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a new V12 engine<\/strong> that’s supposed to be more fuel-efficient than previous designs, according to Carscoops<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There are two ways that Ferrari has achieved a more fuel-efficient engine. The first is by injecting a little bit of fuel before the spark plug ignites.<\/strong> This fuel ignites slightly ahead of time and causes the fuel to burn hotter than it would otherwise. <\/p>\n

The second way that Ferrari is achieving better fuel economy is by having a separate chamber from the main combustion chamber.<\/strong> This pre-chamber has a second set of spark plugs and is designed \u201cfor cyclically and selectively determining the ignition of the mixture present in the pre-chamber and triggering the combustion reaction.”<\/p>\n

Ferrari is fighting hard to keep the naturally aspirated V12 engine around. The company doesn’t want to hybridize it, and it doesn’t want to downsize from the 6.5-liter design either.<\/strong> This is an interesting move by the company, but it’ll be even more interesting to see what Ferrari does in the future to keep the V12 pumping out power. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
