The Ferrari F167 is a 3,855 cc, 90° V8 twin-turbocharged petrol engine introduced in 2019 as part of Ferrari's turbocharged GT lineup. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), four valves per cylinder, and high-pressure direct fuel injection, producing 530 kW (720 PS) at 8,000 rpm and 770 Nm of torque between 3,000 and 5,750 rpm. The compact, lightweight design enables optimal front-midship weight distribution and enhanced chassis dynamics.
Fitted to the F8 Tributo and 296 GTB (in twin-turbo hybrid form as F167H), the engine was engineered for maximum power density and track-focused responsiveness. The flat-plane crankshaft delivers high-revving character and an aggressive exhaust note, while integrated dry-sump lubrication ensures consistent oil pressure during high-lateral acceleration. Emissions compliance is achieved through precise turbo boost control and gasoline particulate filters (GPF), meeting Euro 6d standards across all markets.
One documented evolution is the integration of hybrid architecture in the 296 GTB (F167H), introduced in 2022. This update, detailed in Ferrari Engineering Report FR-22-03, combines the twin-turbo V8 with a 120 kW axial-flux electric motor mounted on the rear axle, creating a plug-in hybrid system with 610 kW (830 PS) total output. The system enables all-electric driving up to 135 km/h and improves throttle response through torque fill during turbo spool-up.
Production years 2019–present meet Euro 6d emissions standards (EU Regulation 2017/1151).
The Ferrari F167 is a 3,855 cc 90° V8 twin-turbo petrol engine engineered for high-performance sports cars (2019–present). It combines DOHC, four-valve heads with twin-scroll turbochargers and direct injection to deliver track-capable power and everyday drivability. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances extreme performance with improved emissions control.

The twin-turbo V8 delivers explosive power ideal for track use but requires adherence to 20,000 km service intervals to maintain turbocharger and timing chain integrity. Correct oiling with Ferrari-specified 0W-40 synthetic is critical to protect high-load components and ensure dry-sump reliability. The flat-plane crankshaft generates high-frequency vibrations, necessitating rigid engine mounts and balanced drivetrain components. Post-2022 hybrid variants (F167H) require high-voltage system diagnostics and battery conditioning per Ferrari SDX. The gasoline particulate filter (GPF) demands full regeneration cycles to prevent clogging, especially in short-trip driving.
Oil Specs: Requires Ferrari Type 5 (0W-40) synthetic oil (Ferrari Service Bulletin SB/ENG/19/04). Use of non-compliant oils may impair turbo bearing longevity and oil pump performance.
Emissions: Certified to Euro 6d under Regulation (EU) 2017/1151; all units include GPF and closed-loop lambda control (VCA Type Approval #VCA/IT/F8/19).
Power Ratings: Measured on engine dynamometer under ISO 1585 conditions. Output remains consistent across production due to strict factory calibration and boost control (Ferrari Press Kit 2019).

The Ferrari F167 was used in Ferrari's F8 Tributo and 296 GTB platforms with front-mid longitudinal mounting and no licensing partnerships. This engine received model-specific adaptations-tuned intake plenums in the F8 Tributo and revised exhaust routing in the 296 GTB-and from 2022 the integration of a hybrid system in the 296 GTB required ECU, cooling, and HV wiring revisions, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine number stamped on the right-hand side of the engine block, near the rear bulkhead (Ferrari TIS F167 Series Rev. 4). The prefix "F167" is followed by a six-digit serial number. Critical differentiation: F167H (296 GTB) includes high-voltage motor integration, coolant lines for power electronics, and revised ECU housing. Service parts are not interchangeable between F8 Tributo and 296 GTB due to hybrid system, intake, and exhaust differences (Ferrari Service Bulletin SB/ENG/19/04).
The F167's primary reliability risk is turbocharger wastegate actuator failure in high-mileage examples, with elevated incidence in vehicles used for repeated track sessions. Internal Ferrari service logs from 2023 noted several cases of actuator sticking due to carbon buildup, while VCA inspection records link a significant number of emissions-related faults to GPF saturation in urban-driven units. Extended high-load operation and infrequent full regeneration cycles increase stress on the turbo and exhaust aftertreatment systems, making adherence to service intervals critical.
