Aurelio Lampredi

Aurelio Lampredi was an Italian designer of automotive and aircraft engines. Initially, he stayed at Ferrari for only one year because there was little room for him alongside Giuseppe Busso and Gioacchino Colombo; Ferrari brought him back in 1951. His first Ferrari engine was a large V12 with displacements of 3.3, 4.1, or 4.5 liters, used in racing cars including the 275 S, 275 F1, 340 F1, and 375 F1. Unlike Colombo's small engines, they did without forced induction. Following the failure of Colombo's supercharged Formula 1 engine, Lampredi's concept prevailed and contributed significantly to Ferrari's first successes in Formula 1.
