The Colombo V12 Changed Ferrari Forever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лис 2022
- Without a doubt, this is the single most important engine in Ferrari’s history and brought the company to its current reputation. It was meant to be a race engine but served well as a core road car engine for most of the models for over 40 years with a large scale of versions: from 1.5-litre up to nearly five litres. It also introduced one of the most typical combinations in the automobile world: a V12 Ferrari.

Another masterpiece. Well researched and edited
Many thanks!
I'm a simple man: I see a V12 in the video title, I hit the like-button 👍
And if it's followed by "Colombo", even faster!!
I'm a simple man. I see a Visio video, I hit the like button.
GMC Twin-Six? 🙃
Agreed
Yep 😂👍
Ohhh! 6:13 Eargasm!
Engine designers have always been heroes of mine. Colombo, Lampredi, Busso were artists combining engineering with passion.
Reminds me of learning to shift (drive stick) in my uncle's 1966 330GT 2+2.
The Colombo engine sound was glorious!!
He was a great man and secured CITGO sponsorship for the North American Racing Team of Luigi Chinetti to campaign LeMans.
Somebody let you learn to drive stick on a 330GT? That's a hell of an uncle. You're supposed to learn to drive stick on a pickup truck because it's cheaper to replace the clutch.
@@soaringvulture it was the only car in the family with a manual gearbox.
At the time it didn't seem like a big deal.
It was a very nice car, but he sold it when Cities Service moved him to Tulsa and there was no good dealership there. I think he bought a Jag...
V12 and Ferrari? Time for an F50 video! 🤣
Lovely video, as always! That V12 had a looong life...same thing happened with Lambo's Bizzarrini V12. 😍
Did wonder if the Colombo V12 could have been stretched from 5-litres to 6-litres and consequently made for a viable V6 displacing up to 3.0-litres to be used in something like the Innocenti 186 GT. After all the 1966 ASA Roll-Bar (not to be confused with the 6-cylinder RB613) was said to have made use of a stretched version of the Colombo-based 4-cylinder used in the ASA 1000 GT that grew to 1800cc (or 1755-1756cc) by way of a 90mm bore and 69mm stroke, which when adding the former's 90mm bore with the Colombo V12's 78mm stroke creates a V12 displacing 5955cc.
Another excellent video. Thanks fella.
The sound of those engines is just wonderful.
I remember the flat 12 grand Prix cars running at Brands Hatch approaching Paddock hill bend and changing down. Seminal.
During a paddock/pits walkabout I saw the Ferrari mechanics enjoying their lunch in typical Italian way. That was the start of my love for all things Italian.
One of the best every machine exist channel videos.
Thank you!
thinking about it 100hp per litre was insane. i think the last naturally aspirated road car to achieve that with an engine smaller than 3 litres was the integra type r and that was over thirty years later.
I believe that was because of high compression and race gas. The Chevy Cosworth Vega 2.0 4 could achieve 300hp running on alcohol [as an obscure example] in about 1975.
S2000; 120hp/l
3:45 your reference to the BRM V16 and hairpin springs - true class!
When I was a kid the local library had a book "the sportscat engine".It spoke about Franco Columbo and Ferrari.
Hope this good video blows up, an engine rich with history deserves the attention.
Carb, V12, manual - what a glorious sound.
One day, just maybe, fortune will smile on me and I'll get to drive something with this engine.
Could you do a video on thr insane engineering of the first supercharged 1 liter H2R engine by Kawasaki?
"Aerodynamics are for those who can't design engines." -Enzo Ferrari.
I can't remeber how excactly the sentince went but still.
The Smithsonian wrote an article about 2 brothers who restored vintage Ferarri's in California. I'll never forget the article mentioning how Ferarri used bronze valve guides for years, which always required replacement-John in Texas
Lovely video as always! Nothing stirs my soul like the sound of a carburetted Ferrari v12!
The trumpets of heaven are weber velocity stacks in my mind
3:38 It's so weird seeing 3 4-barrel carbs on a Ferrari.
My dad almost bought a red Daytona GTB/4, but bought the first metal bodied 308 GTB instead. It lacked the power to keep up with the 12s on the straights. He gutted the muffler and put in a cross-flowing muffler from a 70 Camaro. It made all the difference in the world for power and sounded even better.
Great job on the captioning! I've watched enough of these that I'm used to your accent, but I'm old and my ears don't catch everything so it's appreciated.
8:33 damn that sounds amazing.
Great video, I could listen to the sound of Ferrari V 12’s all day…😊
You nailed it with the engine noises this time.
I'll save this video to watch later, calmly. Here in São Paulo, Brazil in the 70's, there was a mechanic who prided himself on being able to "tune" those twelve carbs just by ear...
People said he charged too much. You don't have a Ferrari with impunity...
Always such good videos.👌
Amazing video! Well researched and thoroughly explained. If only Ferrari were to stick to the original engine bore based name, their cars would be remembered better. Their modern naming convention is just all over the place lol.
Thank you very much!
great documentary, very interesting !
The 400i that appears at the beginning of Rain Man along side the 4 Countach(es) is one of the most elegant modern cars ever built
The sound of those V12s is responsible of my love for engines! Nothing sings like that!
Excellent video! There is nothing sexier in the automotive world than any classic Ferrari, the V12s especially. No hybrid variant will ever do it for me like those do.
Thank you!
@@VisioRacer
Oh no, thankYOU for what you do! You were my 1st subscription when I got on YT.
I wish they would go back to a 2.5-3.0 liter V12 and then add a hybrid system to that! Then they could make the cars small and light again.
Now i'll have to spend a week trying to imagine how my fantasy 412i restoration would go, great video!
IMO the best sounding engine ever made
Excellent video 🇮🇹🏁!!
Thank you 🙌
🥰 ..now that's my kind of an history lesson ! As always, i muchly appreciate your way of stuffing plenty of tech details on one specific subject into a short interesting and entertaining video. You manage to keep my attention focussed and i always learn some new gearhead nerdy knowledge 😆👍 .... how about a video on Opel's inline-six-CIH-engines ? Really great and reliable engines which came a long (and interesting) way from the 60s to late 90s.. from naturally aspirated up to an epic 3,6l biturbo version (C36LET) in the glorious Lotus Omega .. 🤪
Thanks!
Good stuff 👍.
As ussual VisioRacer bring us a very good informative video. Hope soon a video dedicated to Lampredi's Twin-cam 4 cylinders.
Thank you!
Excellent video m8, would love to see a full video of the bmw m5-6 v10 and also the tvr straight six as it was completely developed by tvr. Cheers m8🙏✌️
The TVR six-cylinder definitely coming
Thankyou very much for this! - i would have loved to experiance this era! greetings, Levi in Sweden
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the 250 Testarossa! It’s styling reminds me of Speed Racer’s Mach 5!
It’s a spitting image
Really enjoyed this one, thank you! BTW the last e is silent in mediocre so it just ends in a "ker" sound. Not a slight at you in the least, I know English isn't your first language and I can't speak any other languages!
Thanks!
Love the old v-12 front engine cars.
If only I could have a Miata with a Colombo V12.
Moto Bella :D !
Wow I tell you that one scene on that ferrari 250gto opening up, damn! Really damn! That was revolutionary performance at a time with slow revving heavy V8 motors, although it also has to be mention that even a Ferrari with a 5 liter v12 and 400hp had to watch out for a 426 hemi. The hemi was a serious motor but it was crude, really this GTO taking off, my dad had a Acura Integra type R in 2001 and that was a motor with similar levels of acceleration. Back in the 50's nobody had a concept of a high revving motor with 100hp/liter. Wow! that was really something back in the day.
Ahh remember a mechanic waking up gilles villeneuve Colombo f1. Ground shook at idle
Danke!
Very comprehensive
the columbo v12 is probably the greatest sounding v12 ever built. no faking the sound with old shcool engines and they sound so much better because of it. the only v12 which can even be compared to the columbo is the bizzarrini lambo v12
I would love to have GTO Engineering build a Ferrari for me. The Dino they built for David Lee was extremely impressive.
Future video suggestion: Yakovlev M-501 and Zvezda M503 and M504 Diesel Engines
You are a wizard. The Yakovlev/Zvezda is coming just this weekend
May I be annoying and just point out that you wrote Aluminium on the subtitles but said Aluminum. Other than that perfect video
STILL the best sounding engine EVER!
It might be interesting to include typical external length/ width/ height and weight of the engine when such figures are available.
The Colombo shares a huge amount of details with my 54 Chevy I6 4 liter...going back to 1926.
Mercedes licensed the Chevy design.
I run Webers on my truck too. 40hp per liter. This engine can easely do 150hp and 5200rpm. The main difference is a better cam in head cylinder head at half displacement per bank.
They Ferrarisxrarely do 400hp. 250hp is realistic.
The main difference between your inline 6 and this Ferrari engine is everything.
I couldn't imagine a one an half liter V12. Must have pistons the size of a 3hp engine
Describing Enzo Ferrari as a skilled and successful racing driver is a bit of a stretch. He had limited success as a driver and retired from the sport at a relatively young age after it became apparent that he would not go very far.
can you do a video about Fiats, the 850 engines and the fiat twin cam sports cars?
ohh, nice v12s!
La crème de la crème.
Are those engine blueprints available any links?
Wish it was easier to spice up a 412.
I'm not going to be able to stand 12 minutes of every single sentence being read in the same weird way.
Can someone explain to me that "carbs between cams" thing on the later engines? I dont see the intake manifold coming from between the V engine.
That's downdraft induction. The ports are between the cams. There's room if you design for it.
@@soaringvulture Thanks! I saw it on various old engines but never heard someone talking about it
There's actually a video on UA-cam of the Ferrari 125 F1 engine from 1948-1950, being tested on the dyno. The 1.5L supercharged engine is quite something...
ua-cam.com/video/q_aT-WF_uGs/v-deo.html
Great engine noise!
Great video, but the black car at 6:12 is a fake and not a Ferrari
Nice sweet video, but at 6:08 it's not a Ferrari, it's a Datsun based replica... sorry, but it's a no-go. that disqualified this video, poor 😞
4:43 What model is that?
THE FERRARI 312P IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR EVER HANDS DOWN FIGHT ME
the math is off for a DOHC shouldn't it be a 48V with 4V per cylinder?.if you have 24 that's a 2 Valve
👍👍
I’m the 355th like lol, get it Because Ferrari f355 😂
First! :D
🏁
🐱👍🏿
3rd :)
The 500 Superfast had 3 Webers, not 6. Other misinformation and the video is full of fake Ferraris including the Glickenhaus P3/4.
VisioRacer
Try to pronounce "aluminium".
See, it wasn't that hard, it's plain English.
Now try to write "km/h".
See, it's not that difficult, now you can make an unerring videos.
