Nice update as usual. Looking into the articles again, I'm wondering if the 512's engine is related to any production Ferrari engine - the article says it is related to their F1 engines - were these road based? Something I also am wondering when looking at the 917 article in comparison is how the 917 managed to make more power even though it was 500 cc short of the Type 261C and only utilised 2 vpc as opposed to 4 and had a lower compression ratio - I know there is more to engines than these things alone, but no less. Was the 917's engine more stressed? Also, I see the 917's engine is related to the 908's, what was the 908's engine based on? A production 911 per chance?
