The Engineer Of Lamborghini's First V12 Was Paid A Bonus For Every 10 HP Over Asking | Carscoops carscoops
Lamborghini’s next V12 engine will feature at least some degree of electric assistance. That marks the end of an era for the Italian marque, so it’s celebrating its history by looking back at its first engine, the 3.5-liter V12.turned to Giotto Bizzarini, considered today one of the finest engine designers ever to have lived. Intended to go into the 350 GT, the engine formula was simple: Ferrucio wanted a 3500 cc V12 engine that made 350 horsepower .
Indeed, when the engine found its way onto the test bench for the first time in July 1963, Bizzarini had done his job well and the engine made 360 hp at 9,000 rpm. A racing fan all his life, Bizzarini had used all of the latest Formula 1 technology to make the engine. Unfortunately, Lamborghini realized that that would make it unsuitable for mass production or for use in a grand touring car.
