1 overhead camshaft per cylinder bank

Enzo Ferrari decided that the first Ferrari built at Maranello, designed by Gioachino Colombo, was to be powered by a V12 engine. The V12 engine, which was unique in racing at the time, brought immediate success to Ferrari, and gave rise to a succession of Sport, GT and road cars, as well as single seat FI and F2 racers. The car exhibited is an identical reproduction of the car - which has since been lost - with which Ferrari won its first race at the Rome GP on 25th May 1947. The body was crafted by the company's own panel beaters, who took inspiration from a sketch by Gioachino Colombo.
