Ferrari made a turbocharged, 2.65-liter, V-8, Indy racing engine, dubbed the Tipo 034, designed and purpose-built for competitive use in the CART PPG Indy Car World Series, but, although tested and unveiled to the press in 1986, never raced. [2] [3]
For what was supposedly just a bargaining tool, the Ferrari 637 Indycar was well-engineered and carefully thought out. The Type 034 engine is a turbocharged, 90°, 32-valve, 2.65-liter V8. It's intake ports are along the outside of the vee, while the exhaust ports are inside the vee. It is methanol-fueled, has no intercooler, and runs 1.6 bar (23 psi ) of turbo boost pressure, as per CART regulations.
