1963 Ferrari 156 F1
Presented by Enzo Ferrari, Maranello (Modena)
Engine: V6 1200
Capacity: 1477 cc
Max. powered output: 200 bhp at 10200 rpm
Max. speed: 240 km/h.
Weight - 460 kg
Changes in the Formula 1 championship regulations in 1961 (free-induction 1500 cc engines and 450 kg minimum weight) induced Ferrari to adopt F2 engines.
At the same time, the single-seater was greatly altered when the engine was moved to the rear.
These developments led to numerous variants of the basic V engine(first at 65° then at 120°).
Cylinder heads with 4 valves and a version with a very short stroke were experimented. The Bosch injection system, with high pressure mechanical pump and in-cylinder injectors, is the most noteworthy addition. The 156 F1 won Phil Hill the world title in 1961, and carried John Surtees to victory in the German and Mediterranean Grands Prix in 1963.
