Ferrari engines in other cars, can you help?

Going from my decaying memory, I believe it was 2001 for the Prost F1 and it's been since 1997 (??) for the Sauber.

Wasn't the Lancia Stratos a Dino engine? And if that's the case, does that kind of make it a Ferrari designed but Fiat built motor a la' Fiat Dino Coupes and Spiders?

Agreed. Keep the peace. Anyway, I would take either one.

I heard the same thing about Prost - Peugeot (2000) & Ferrari (2001). Maybe there was a change during mid season on the engine supplier (just speculating), for Prost were going through hell at that time.

 

Bill Harrah once had a Jeep Wagoneer with a Ferrari V-12 in it that was called a "Jerrari". It had a rectangular shield like the Ferrari one, but with a figure of Eugene the Jeep instead of the cavallino rampante!

 

Are you only interested in factory built cars?

Lancia Beta Thema
Lancia Stratos
Fiat Dino coupe (bertone) & Spider (Pininfarina)

Then there was the Ferrari chasis powered by a Judd? in the endurance races a few years back, actually did quite well. They removed the stock Ferrari engine from a 333 (I think) and put in the Judd, something about Ferrari not wanting to help in the tuning, or something like that.

 

Sounds like the Doran 333.

For some reason I thought the 4.2L V8 in the Maserati was a Ferrari engine.

 

Hmmm, I thought the Ferrari engines is the Sauber were built and maintained by Ferrari but badges as Petronas, as part of a big money making deal for Ferrari, like they had for Prost for a while (the last year or 2 of Prost).

There also was another Italian team a few years ago which I thought had Ferrari engines too ... cannot remember the name but many F1 sites have all this detail.

According to www.f1db.com the following cars used Ferrari engines (other than Ferraris ):

Cooper T45 1958,1959,1960,1961
Cooper T51 1959,1960,1961,1963
Cooper T73 1966
Dallara BMS-F192 1992
De Tomaso F1 1963
Lancia Ferrari 801 1957
Lancia Ferrari D50 1956
Lola T93/30 1993
Minardi M191 1991

I do not believe the Coopers, De Tomaso and Lola but the others are possible.
Ofcourse add Sauber and Prost.

To confirm the Prost with Ferrari engine (www.newsonf1.com):

Prost were Honda powered in 1997, Peugeot powered in 1998, 1999, 2000, Ferrari (Acer) powered in 2001, 2002 over and out

There WAS a Cooper-Ferrari, or rather two - a T51 with a 4-cylinder 2500cc from a 555 Super Squalo in 1960 (known as the Cooper -Castelloti in tribute to the late driver) and a 1966 car which comprised a 1965 Cooper F1 chassis with the engine from a Drogo-bodied 250GT, built and entered by J. A. Pearce and driven by Chris Lawrence in the 1966 British and German GPs.

There was a Formula 2 Chevron-Ferrari as well, with a V6, can't remember the year.

Also ISTR another IMSA car at Daytona with a 308 engine, and in Group C from 1983 to 1989 the Lancia works team cars used a development of the abortive Indy V8 Ferrari turbo, enlarged to 3200cc IIRC.

A bit of Googling should get you some more details.

Checking on the 1966 F1 Cooper-Ferrari, it was a Cooper T73 chassis and had the engine from Ferrari 3729GT. The car and engine were destroyed in a fire in 1967.

A Formula 2 team named Scuderia Trivellato used both Chevron and Ralt chassis with V6 Ferrari engines around 1978.......the engine was a bit controversial because the factory supplied them with a dry sump which was so deep the team couldn't fit it low enough in the car, so modified it.

When Minardi had Ferrari engines in 1991, Ferrari were at a low ebb and Minardi out-qualified them at least once and IIRC got a third-place in one GP - fat chance of that happening now!

Wasn't there a Pontiac Trans-Am in the 70s that a V-12?
