Formula One ( F1 )

That's a bit boring. I hadn't read the regs, clearly. I only knew of the engine size. I suppose it's not a dead loss for Ferrari, because though they will not be able to offer a 1.6 litre engine to their adoring public, a 3.2 litre V12 sounds very saleable.

You cannot take an engine out of a F1 car and put it in a road car, the engineering tolerances are too fine. Who would want to spend a fortune on a road car that needed to have the engine warmed for hours before starting it?

While some of the technology will be adapted to road car use it is a lot more complex than welding two F1 engines together and selling it as a 3.2 litre V12.
