Manufacturer:
SCUDERIA FERRARI (IT)
Note:
Internal engine number 094. 60° V-type. 3-liter version of the Lampredi V12, known for its larger size and torque-oriented characteristics, well-suited to meet the demands of a powerful grand tourer. It appears that Ferrari produced only a limited number of 250 Europas with this engine, installing the Colombo V12 in later cars. The precise number equipped is a subject of debate.
