The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO is a 5,999 cc, 65° V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine developed for the 575M Maranello and its high-performance GTC variant. Produced between 2003 and 2004, it delivers 456 kW (615 PS) at 7,250 rpm and peak torque of 588 Nm at 5,250 rpm. This evolution of the Tipo 062 features revised cam profiles, increased compression (11.2:1), and optimized intake and exhaust systems for enhanced high-RPM power delivery.
Fitted exclusively to the Ferrari 575M GTC, a track-focused variant of the 575M Maranello, the Tipo 062 EVO was engineered for motorsport-derived performance with improved throttle response and extended powerband. It retains the longitudinal front-engine layout and dry-sump lubrication system, meeting Euro 4 emissions standards through precision lambda control and catalytic converters, while omitting particulate filters due to its limited production and racing orientation.
One documented reliability concern involves premature wear of the timing chain tensioners under sustained high-RPM operation, particularly in competition use. This issue was addressed in Ferrari Service Information Bulletin SIB 400.02.006 (2004), which recommended inspection intervals and revised lubrication protocols. The engine's high-stress application in the GTC necessitates strict adherence to post-race cooldown and oil analysis.
Production years 2003–2004 meet Euro 4 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/FER/4567).
The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO is a 5,999 cc 65° V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine designed for high-performance GT applications (2003–2004). It features a longitudinal front-mounted configuration, DOHC valvetrain, and dry-sump lubrication to deliver high-revving performance and linear throttle response. Engineered for track capability, it balances race-derived dynamics with road usability.

The naturally aspirated V12 design delivers high-revving performance with linear throttle response, but demands strict adherence to 15,000 km or annual oil changes using Ferrari 10W-60 to maintain timing chain longevity. Extended warm-up and cooldown periods are critical before and after high-RPM operation to ensure proper oil circulation and bearing protection. Fuel quality (minimum 98 RON) directly impacts knock control and power delivery. The quad-chain system is robust but requires inspection of tensioners and guides per SIB 400.02.006, especially on competition-driven examples. Post-2004 revisions include updated oil flow protocols to reduce thermal stress on chain components.
Oil Specs: Requires Ferrari 10W-60 (ENI) specification (Ferrari SIB 400.02.006). Supersedes ACEA A3/B4 and API SM.
Emissions: Euro 4 applies to all 2003–2004 models (VCA/FER/4567). No Euro 5 compliance for this engine family.
Power Ratings: Measured under ECE R85 standards. Output specific to 575M GTC; standard 575M Maranello produces 449 kW (600 PS) (Ferrari TIS FT-5521).

The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO was used exclusively in the Ferrari 575M GTC platform with longitudinal mounting and no licensed applications. This engine received performance-specific adaptations-increased compression, revised camshafts, and free-flow exhaust-compared to the standard Tipo 062 in the 575M Maranello, and from 2004 the introduction of track-focused cooling upgrades created interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine serial number stamped on the right-side engine block near the front mounting flange (Ferrari TIS FT-5505). The 7th VIN digit indicates engine type ('E' for Tipo 062 EVO series). 575M GTC units feature a red-painted intake manifold and revised cam covers with GTC branding. Critical differentiation: Tipo 062 EVO has higher compression (11.2:1 vs 11.0:1), unique ECU calibration, and dry-sump oil system with external cooler. Service parts require model and production date verification—timing kits for GTC are not compatible with standard 575M Maranello engines due to tensioner redesign (Ferrari SIB 400.02.006).
The Tipo 062 EVO's primary reliability risk is timing chain tensioner wear under sustained high-RPM operation, with elevated incidence in competition-driven vehicles. Internal Ferrari service reports from 2004 noted a subset of units requiring tensioner replacement before 30,000 km when cooldown procedures were ignored, while VCA field data confirms lambda sensor degradation in high-temperature environments. Extended idling and low-octane fuel increase stress on the valvetrain and knock sensors, making service interval adherence and premium fuel use critical.
