Ferrari Lampredi Engine - I6

I6

For the 1955 735 LM, Lampredi modified the big-bore 1953 I4 into a straight-6. Displacement was 4.4 L (4412 cc) from 102x90 mm cylinders. Triple Weber 50 DCOA/3 carbs pushed out 300 to 350 hp (261 kW). With this power, the 735 LM could hit 280 km/h (174 mph) on the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.

A smaller version was used that same year in the 376 S sports car. It used the same 90 mm (3.5 in) stroke and 94 mm (3.7 in) bore as the original Lampredi Formula One engine and produced 280 hp (209 kW).
