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 (in modified hybrid configuration), the F167-001 was engineered for high-performance driving with daily usability. It features dry-sump lubrication, forged internals, and a flat-plane crankshaft for enhanced responsiveness. Emissions compliance is achieved via gasoline particulate filters (GPF) and precise lambda control, meeting Euro 6d-TEMP and later Euro 6d standards depending on model year.
One documented service action involves early turbocharger bearing wear under aggressive thermal cycling, highlighted in Ferrari Technical Service Bulletin 400.02.018 (2021). This condition primarily affects vehicles with frequent track use and insufficient cool-down periods. From 2022, revised bearing materials and updated ECU logic for post-shutdown oil circulation were implemented across production units.
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 flat-plane crank and twin turbos deliver high-revving performance with immediate throttle response, but demand strict adherence to 15,000 km or annual oil changes using Ferrari 0W-40 to maintain turbo bearing and timing chain longevity. Extended idling after high-load operation is critical to prevent turbo coking and oil degradation. Fuel quality (minimum 98 RON) directly impacts knock control and power delivery. GPF-equipped models require regular highway operation to prevent regeneration faults. The dry-sump system reduces oil surge during cornering but requires precise fill volume during service. Post-2022 models feature improved turbo bearing metallurgy per Ferrari SIB 400.02.018.
Oil Specs: Requires Ferrari 0W-40 (SHELL V-Power Racing) specification (Ferrari SIB 400.02.015). Supersedes ACEA C5 and API SP.
Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP applies to 2019–2020 models (VCA/FER/7890). Euro 6d compliance confirmed for 2021–2023 production.
Power Ratings: Measured under ECE R85 standards. 496 kW output requires 100+ RON fuel and vehicle-specific calibration (Ferrari TIS FT-8890).

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.
Locate the engine serial number stamped on the right-side engine block near the gearbox mating flange (Ferrari TIS FT-8805). The 7th VIN digit indicates engine type ('H' for F167 series). Pre-2022 F8 Tributo units have silver turbo housings; post-2022 models use black ceramic-coated units. Critical differentiation from 296 GTB: F167-001 is non-hybrid with rear-mounted gearbox, while 296 GTB integrates an axial motor into the transmission. Service parts require model and production date verification—turbo assemblies for pre-2021 F8 Tributo are not compatible with Roma-spec units due to manifold geometry (Ferrari SIB 400.02.010).
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.
