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.

Ferrari F12 with V12 engine
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.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
