Anyone know which other cars used Ferrari engines? Lancia Stratos Fiat Dino Lancia Thema 8.32 Any others?
Lancia Stratos (available in road and race versions) reminds that Ferrari supplied engines for the Lancia LC2 race cars. Among the customer-built cars was Bill Harrah's Jerrari.
Technically, the crankshafts in the Maserati are cross plane while in Ferraris are flat plane. So it s not a Ferrari engine, but it is an engine made from a Ferrari casting.
I read once that the engine in a lambo 350Gt was very close to that of a P4 being designed by the same guy.
No I don't. I remembered Jay Leno showing and driving it. Yep, pretty cool. This was the only one built. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Maserati Coupe and Spyder,including the GranSport versions,were built from 2002 until 2007. They were designed when Ferrari owned 100% of Maserati,so they could be considered Ferraris. The 4244cc engine was derived from the F430 engine,with many changes (same bore, shorter stroke). However,this Maserati engine was not used in any car with a Ferrari nameplate.
Eric Zausner's Moal Torpedo should count When Worlds Collide: Eric Zausner's Torpedo is a blend of classic Ferrari and hot rod | Autoweek https://vimeo.com/107861053
This and there are other small differences, but as far as design and production, the Maserati engine is 100% Ferrari
308 Dino has an fcar engine ha ha There was a special edition lancia thema that had a 308 engine in it from the factory. The engine had some mods (maybe even a different non flat crank) but I'm sure these are pretty collectible now The stratos is the coolest car ever (fact) but don't forget that's a fiat engine
not factory approved. still pretty cool read about it here Someone Stuffed a Ferrari 458's V8 Into a Toyota 86 watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmThJSF-KWw
I believe Ferrari built the engine in the Maser Gransport (and others in that line) and even today builds the v6 engine (and maybe others?) used in Maserati's? (I seem to recall seeing them being built at the factory tour). So Ferrari "built" engines in other cars? Sure. Same "exact engine as in a production Ferrari in another car"? Not sure...
That's my understanding. Maser engines are Ferrari engines with de-tuned heads. And yes, the Alfa QV 90' v6 is a Cali T block minus 2 cylinders. And hell, on that Toyota, just turn the intake around
The Alfa V6 in the Giulia and (soon to be) Stelvio is basically a California engine less two cylinders.
also, no flat crank on that Alfa. That said, man that Alfa is a lot of car for the $$ and hell of a design. Who wouldn't look at this thing before buying another M3-fiat got it right this time
