\u201cThis is only the second time in the history of the IEOTYA that such a powerful performance engine has taken the overall honours two years consecutively and won the most coveted, outright IEOTYA title. The Ferrari V8 is all about amazing power deliver, precision, drivability and a wonderful soundtrack, too. One day soon it\u2019ll be a classic in its own right; indeed, I think it is already.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

– Tony Robinson, Founder, International Engine of the Year Awards<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ferrari Winners<\/h3>\n

The winner of the coveted overall honor Robinson was speaking about was the 3.9L twin-turbo V8 that is found beneath the hood of the Ferrari 488 GTB, 488 Spider, California T<\/a> and GTC4Lusso T. As he mentioned, this is the second year in a row that this engine won the top spot, which is nearly unprecedented in the almost-20-year run the awards have had thus far. But that\u2019s not the only award the engine won. It also won the Performance Engine class and the 3L-4L Displacement category<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it wasn\u2019t the only Ferrari engine to be recognized. The 6.3L V12 that powers the F12berlinetta and F12tdf won the award for the Above 4L category, also its second year in a row. We\u2019re very proud to offer Ferrari vehicles right here at Prestige Imports, so if you\u2019re interested in finding a vehicle powered by one of these monsters yourself be sure to give us a call.
