Ferrari will implement turbocharging in its engines but after it improves it
Hopping on the bandwagon which militates that big, naturally-aspirated engines be replaced with smaller, turbocharged units, Ferrari has revealed that it is considering the solution for its future models, but the technology still needs to be improved and prevent the “unacceptable” turbo lag.
“Turbocharging will come eventually, but we need to solve the issue of turbo lag,” said Jean Jacques His, Ferrari’s engine developer. He revealed that turbo lag can’t be found on a Ferrari model to the prestige of the brand.
He also tackled the idea that the Maranello-based supercar maker might use Fiat’s variable valve technology, as the company did try to implement it on the F430′s V8 engine, but didn’t get the power it expected. “The main benefit from Multiair comes in torque,” he said, “and it is difficult to get it to work at high revs.”
But one technology which will appear on the future V12 Ferrari models was the dual-clutch gearbox, which is currently available only for V8 cars.
