Nowadays sports cars from Ferrari are known mainly for their eight- and twelve-cylinder engines. Within the last few years fans also learned to accept turbo charging and hybrid technologies in their new cars. But looking back through the rich history of Ferrari there were also some other engines from Maranello. Next to the known six-cylinder engines in the Dino model range there were also some four-cylinders in the early days of the marque, mostly done for regulation reasons in sports car racing.

One of those four-cylinder engines sits within the 625 TF. If you didn’t know this model up to now this is because Ferrari only built three of them in 1953. ‘TF’ means Targa Florio, the big Sizilian race this car was originally planned for. Its engine shows 2.5 litres of displacement and two overhead cams. It debuted at June 29 1953 in Monza with factory driver Mike Hawthorn behind the wheel \u2013 he became F1 World Champion a few years later. Behind some more powerful cars he finished fourth overall. Later that month the car was driven by Umberto Maglioli in VII Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti street race and finished third.<\/p>\n\n\n
