[edit] I2

Ferrari was rare among automobile manufacturers in attempting to build a straight-2 automobile engine. The racing prototype never made it to production.

[edit] I4

Ferrari's famous Testa Rossa racing cars of the 1950s were powered by Aurelio Lampredi's straight-4 engines.

[edit] I6

Lampredi also modified his four into a straight-6 for racing use.

[edit] V6

Ferrari's Dino project of the 1960s gave birth to the company's well-known V8 and lesser-known V6 engines. This Vittorio Jano design formed the basis of the company's modern engines right up through the mid-2000s.
