Ferrari's Dodici Cilindri

Is there really no replacement for displacement? Evidently, Italy thinks so too...

THE FERRARI 12CILINDRI (pronounced doh-dee-chi chi-lindree) is the name of Maranello's latest 12-cylinder GT (Gran Turismo or Grand Tourer) and it is powered by a naturally aspirated 65° V12 petrol engine displacing 6.5 litres and pumping out 830 hp, without any forced induction or hybrid trickery. The red-line is set at 9,500 rpm but, even more astonishing, 80 per cent of the maximum torque of 678 Nm is available at just 2,500 rpm. There really is no replacement for displacement!
