The head of Ferrari’s powertrain department, Jean Jacques His, attended the award ceremony and commented: “Winning both these categories for the third year running is a fantastic result for everyone at Ferrari. It is testimony to the efforts of a relatively small group of engineers who constantly strive to achieve ambitious technical objectives. Three figures suffice to demonstrate the results of development: 120 HP more and 30 percent lower emissions than the previous V12 that equipped the 599 GTB Fiorano, along with a 30 percent increase in longitudinal acceleration.”
While Dean Slavnich, the Co-chairman of the International Engine of the Year Awards, commented: "The V12 takes over from the V8 to make it six International Engine of the Year Award wins for Ferrari in three years, a brilliant feat.”
The F12 Berlinetta has been the object of universal commendation from the press and public alike since its launch, with the International Engine of the Year titles following several other recent awards, from BBC Top Gear Magazine’s Supercar of the Year, Auto Bild’s “Design Award”, The Sunday Times Driving’s “Best Supercar and Luxury Car” award and the Golden Steering Wheel award from Auto Bild and Bild Am Sonntag, the first time a Ferrari has ever taken this leading German industry prize.
