The Ferrari F167 — 001 is a 3,855 cc, 90° V8 twin — turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2019 and 2023. It forms the core powertrain for Ferrari’s mid — rear — engined GT sports cars, combining direct fuel injection with variable valve timing. This engine delivers 447 kW (608 PS) in base configurations, with peak torque of 770 Nm available from 3,000 rpm, enabling rapid acceleration and high — speed refinement.
Fitted to models including the F8 Tributo, Roma, and 296 GTB…
Production years 2019–2020 meet Euro 6d-TEMP standards; 2021–2023 models comply with Euro 6d (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/FER/7890).
The Ferrari F167-001 is a 3,855 cc 90° V8 twin-turbo petrol engine engineered for high-performance GT applications (2019–2023). It combines direct injection with variable valve timing and turbocharging to deliver rapid throttle response and sustained high-end power. Designed to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, it balances track capability with road-going refinement.

The Ferrari F167-001 was used across Ferrari's mid-rear-engined platforms with longitudinal mounting and no licensed applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-tuned intake manifolds in the Roma and hybrid integration in the 296 GTB-and from 2022 the F8 Tributo received revised turbo mapping and cooling, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The F167-001's primary reliability risk is turbocharger bearing wear under aggressive use, with elevated incidence in track-driven vehicles. Internal Ferrari service reports from 2022 noted a subset of pre-2022 units requiring turbo replacement before 30,000 km when cooldown procedures were ignored, while VCA field data confirms GPF clogging in low-mileage urban-driven examples. High-temperature operation and low-octane fuel increase stress on turbos and knock sensors, making service interval adherence and premium fuel use critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The F167-001 is highly engineered and robust under proper maintenance, but pre-2022 models have shown turbo bearing sensitivity when cooldown procedures are ignored. Track use without adequate oil cooling increases risk. Later revisions (2022+) feature improved materials. Regular oil changes with Ferrari 0W-40 and adherence to service schedules are essential for long-term reliability.
Key issues include turbocharger bearing wear (especially pre-2022), gasoline particulate filter (GPF) clogging in urban use, intake manifold actuator faults, and high-pressure fuel pump degradation. These are documented in Ferrari service bulletins and field reports. Proper operation and maintenance significantly reduce occurrence.
The F167-001 powers the F8 Tributo (2019–2023), Roma (2020–2023), and serves as the ICE component in the 296 GTB hybrid (2022–2023, designated F167-H). It is not used in front-engined or V12 models. Each application has specific tuning and ancillary configurations.
Yes, though official tuning is limited. ECU remaps from authorized partners can yield +30–50 kW on non-hybrid variants by optimizing boost and ignition timing. However, gains beyond this risk knock events and turbo damage. The 296 GTB’s hybrid system restricts tuning potential without battery and motor recalibration. Always use 98+ RON fuel when tuned.
Official combined consumption is ~12.5 L/100km (~22.8 mpg UK) for the F8 Tributo. Real-world usage varies significantly—urban driving may exceed 18 L/100km (~15.6 mpg), while highway cruising can achieve ~9.5 L/100km (~29.8 mpg). The 296 GTB improves efficiency to ~8.5 L/100km (~33.2 mpg) in hybrid mode.
Yes. The F167-001 is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or skips, piston-to-valve contact will occur, resulting in catastrophic internal damage. The front-mounted chain system is robust but requires correct tension and lubrication. Any timing-related noise must be investigated immediately.
Ferrari specifies 0W-40 synthetic oil meeting Ferrari/SHELL V-Power Racing standards (API SP, ACEA C5). Oil must be changed every 15,000 km or annually. Using incorrect oil can lead to turbo bearing wear, chain tensioner failure, and DPF clogging. Always use OEM-approved lubricants.
