There’s no denying that a Pininfarina<\/a>-designed silhouette is what often defines a Ferrari car<\/a>. Such a predisposition is ultimately good for selling those posters that ended up plastered on our bedroom walls – the same ones which reminded the younger versions of ourselves to keep dreaming of one day owning one. As we matured and gained more perspective on what makes these cars so special, we began to understand that it’s really the engines that have made these automobiles into the legends they’ve become.<\/p>\n

While Ferrari cars are undoubtedly works of art in and of themselves, they’re automobiles first a foremost. They still need to move us in the most literal of ways – as much (if not more) as they do emotionally – to truly become masterpieces. It’s the power plants that are responsible for injecting soul and essence into these iconic Ferraris.<\/p>\n

Here are the Best Ferrari Engines Ever Made.<\/p>\n

Originally designed by Gioacchino Colombo, this engine can trace its roots back to the very first\u00a0Ferrari-branded<\/a> model designed by Ferrari Enzo \u2013 the 1947 Ferrari 125 S \u2013 where it debuted as a 1.5L V12 engine<\/a>. The core design of the engine would persevere for more than 4 decades, growing in size, having various levels of forced induction, and becoming a dual-overhead-cam configuration with EFI along the way. Many credit the motor\u2019s longevity to its reputation for being bulletproof.<\/p>\n

Successful in both road-going and race track derivatives, the list of Ferrari cars this engine has graced has no shortage of automotive icons; the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa<\/a>, Ferrari 250 GTO<\/a>, and Ferrari 365 GTB\/4<\/a>, just to name a few.<\/p>\n
