Ferrari isn’t going to like this turbo-equipped Ferrari F12 engine that’s thought to be the ‘world’s most powerful V12’.

The YouTube team uses unique processes and tools to create more powerful and durable cars than other custom shops.

In fact, it’s said to pack 1,500WHP.

Let’s just hope Ferrari doesn’t see it anytime soon.

The team from DailyDrivenExotics on YouTube was behind the upgrade – they previously souped up the ‘worst abandoned supercar in America’.

They call on the help of ex-Cosworth engineer, Mike.

He has all the skills and tools required to build drag cars, road race cars, and other special custom builds – so giving the F12’s V12 a boost to twin-turbo 1,500-wheel horsepower is no problem.

Making more powerful and durable engines requires line-honing, aka lying the engine horizontally.

Mike uses a vertical honing process ensuring all journals are the exact same size when boring them out.

The result is tighter bearing clearances, allowing the engine to handle its newfound power.

Before final assembly, Mike bored out the steel cylinders from 94 inches to 94.5 inches and treated them to make them as hard and durable as possible.

The standard model already packs a HP punch

Ferrari is fighting hard to keep the naturally aspirated V12 alive as electric and hydrogen engines take over – not unlike the Aston Martin Vanquish with a V12 designed to look like it’s ‘been in the gym’.

The recent unveiling of the Ferrari 12Cilindri is just more proof of that.

The F12 uses a durable 6.3-liter F140 V12 that packs out 730HP.

This makes it already one of the most powerful sports cars.

Its comfy and spacious interior also means that the mighty driving experience can be thoroughly enjoyed.
