The Ferrari F40 has an engine displacement of 2.9 liters. More precisely, its twin-turbocharged V8 displaces 2,936 cubic centimeters, usually rounded to 2.9 L.
The engine was a 90-degree V8 developed from Ferrari’s earlier high-performance work, including the 288 GTO. Two IHI turbochargers and intercoolers helped the relatively compact engine produce exceptional power for the late 1980s, while the car’s lightweight construction amplified its performance.
The F40 was introduced in 1987 as a celebration of Ferrari’s 40th anniversary and became the final Ferrari road car approved during Enzo Ferrari’s lifetime. It used a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, with a deliberately uncompromising character.
A common mix-up is confusing the F40’s 2.9-liter V8 with the 3.0-liter or larger engines used in other Ferrari models. The 2,936 cc figure is the specification that identifies the standard F40 powerplant.
