This is a Ferrari F140 V12 engine from a Ferrari FF. Interestingly this would be the largest road-going Ferrari engine ever produced at the time of its release, with a displacement of 6.3 liters (382 cubic inches).
The F140 V12 produces 650 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 504 lb ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. It has an alloy block and heads, double overhead cams per bank, four valves per cylinder, direct electronic fuel injection, and it was mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
The Ferrari FF made its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. It would be Ferrari’s first four-wheel drive model, offering seating for four adults and a shooting brake body style – not to mention the largest production car engine ever used by Ferrari up until that point in time.

The Ferrari FF was in production from 2011 until 2016, the name “FF” stands for “Ferrari Four” – a reference to the fact that the car has four seats and is four-wheel drive.
It would be Ferrari’s first production four-wheel drive vehicle and thanks to its spacious interior with seating for four adults it was surprisingly practical.
The FF can be switched between four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive via the manettino dial on the steering wheel. Most owners leave it in rear-wheel drive for regular daily use, but switching it to “Comfort” or “Snow” model engages all four wheels.
The four-wheel drive system was named 4RM by Ferrari who claim that it’s 50% lighter than comparable systems from other automakers. It can send power intelligently to each of the four wheels based on their level of traction, as such it became a popular winter ski vehicle for the wheel-heeled.
Here we see the engine fitted to the car it originally came in, before it was removed. It’s now being offered for sale out of Germany for $28,657 USD or best offer on eBay.
