Ferrari V10

1996 Tipo 046 engine.

This Tipo 046 engine is notable for being the first to use the then more conventional V10 engine format, because a V10 engine offered the best compromise between power and fuel efficiency; the V12 was powerful but thirsty, and vice versa for a V8. The engine was also called the 310. It was engineered by former Honda technician Osamu Goto. The engine is a 75-degree V10; and produces 715 hp @ 15,550 rpm.[20][21] The engine itself weighs 120 kg (265 lb).

1998 Tipo 047 engine.

The 3-litre Ferrari Tipo 047 V10 engine and designed around a narrower track as mandated by the FIA in a series of regulation changes for that season.[22] The engine itself is a 80-degree V10; which makes 805 hp (600 kW) @ 17,300 rpm.[23]

The Tipo 048/B/C engine is an 80-degree, 3.0-litre V10 engine, manufactured by Ferrari. The engine itself was designed by Giles Simon; who lead the engine design and operations. It produces 790 BHP (552 KW) @ 16,300 rpm, and won Ferrari their first World Constructors' championship in 20 years.[24]

2000 Tipo 049 engine.

Giles Simon lead the engine design procedure and operations of the Tipo 049. The engine was newly designed, with a wider V-angle (90 degrees vs. 75 degrees in the 048 engine); this new wider angle improved and lowered the centre of gravity of the car that it powered. The engine produced between 805-815 hp @ 17,300 RPM.[25][26]

The Ferrari Tipo 050 engine was designed by Gilles Simon. It is a 90-degree V10; which produces 825 horsepower (615 kW) @ 17,300 in race moderpm.[27] However, the engine can be tuned to produce up to 900 horsepower in qualifying trim. The whole engine unit weighs 94 kg (207 lb.).[28]

Giles Simon and Paolo Martinelli led the engine's design and operations. The 3.0-litre Tipo 051 V10 engine produced 835 horsepower (623 kW) @ 17,800 rpm in race trim.[29] In qualifying mode, however, the engine developed up to 900 horsepower (670 kW) at 19,000 rpm.[30][31] The engine had a very low centre of gravity, but to ensure durability and reliability, the engine performance was reduced during the race. Thus, the Tipo 051 was capable of producing 865 horsepower (645 kW), and revving to a maximum of 18,600 rpm, all while having excellent handling. The new 051 engine was not the strongest engine of 2002, only being beaten out by the BMW P81 engine used by the Williams team (which produced 940 horsepower (700 kW)); but it was lighter, more compact, very fuel-efficient, and very driveable. An innovative and very small clutchless gearbox allowing ultra-quick changes had been designed, and because the unit was so small, the rear end aerodynamics were extremely tightly packaged.[32] Bridgestone developed special tyres, suited specifically for the car.[33][34][35]

Paolo Martinelli, assisted by Giles Simon, lead the engine design and operations.[36] The Tipo 052 engine was a developed versions of the previous model.[37][38][39] The 3.0 L V10 engine produced 845 horsepower (630 kW) @ 18,300 rpm[40]

For the fourth year running, Technical Director and Paolo Martinelli, assisted by Giles Simon, lead the engine design and operations. The engine was now designed in accordance with the FIA's new technical regulations for the season, and had to last a full race weekend.[41][42][43] The engine now produced 865 horsepower (645 kW) @ 18,300 rpm in race trim,[44] and 920 horsepower (690 kW) @ 19,000 rpm in qualifying mode.[45] The engine also now weighed only 92 kg (203 lbs.).[46]

For the fifth and final year running, Technical Director Paolo Martinelli, assisted by Giles Simon, led the engine design and operations. The car was driven by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. This was also Ferrari's last V10 engine. The 90°, naturally-aspirated, 3.0 l (183 cu in) Tipo 055 engine made 865 hp @ 18,300 rpm, in race trim,[47] and about 940 hp @ 19,000 rpm in qualifying mode.[48] The engine only weighed around 90 kg (198 lb).
