T he 12 cy lin d e r engine in the 575M M aranello. m aintains the 65 degree V-angle. four overhead cam shafts, four valves per cylin der. light alloy block, heads and oil tank. The objectives Ferrari wanted to achieve with the new V12 engine in the 575M M aranello were to increase both the pow er and the torque curves. The results are a m axim um pow er out put o f 515 bp at 7250 rpm and a m axim um torque o f 434 lb ft. An optim um w eight distribution - with a 5050 split betw een the axles - including the driv er, is achieved thanks to a specific transaxle design which features a com bined rear m ount ed gearbox and differential unit w ith conical torque and autolocking differential in the same unit. T he tran sm issio n on the new 575M M aranello is fitted with the electro-hydraulic "F I" control unit m ounted at the rear o f the car. Two set-up options are available with the FI G earbox: 'Sport', for a more rapid gear change, and 'N orm al' for a more relaxed driving sfyle. Both are linked to an analogue control acting on the suspension system . By pressing the A uto button on the central tunnel the FI gearbox has a fully autom ated gear shift. The principal benefits o f the FI change on the 575M M aranello are a quicker gear change coupled with increased control o f the suspen sion system when gears are selected. The braking system has also been m odified, to cope with the increased perform ance o f the vehicle, especially in term s o f avoiding fade and im proving response un d er braking. Changes w ere focused on im proving brake cooling, thanks to a new pad m aterial (Ferodo HP 1000), reducing the brake pedal effort and increasing the level o f assistance from the servo system .

T he key elem en t o f the new 575M M aranello is sum m ed up in its name. The new car uses a new num erical code 575 - an abbreviated indication o f its cubic capacity, which has been raised from 5500 cc to 5750 cc bringing an increase in both pow er and torque. The letter 'M ', an abbreviation o f "m odificato," underlines the fact that changes have been made to all areas o f the new m odel's perform ance. Perhaps the m ost significant change, apart from the new engine, is the introduction o f the F I-style gearbox, w hich is used for the first time on a 12 cylinder Ferrari road car. In developing the style o f this car. Ferrari designers thought the m ost im portant thing was to retain the balanced and sober looks, which had m ade the 550 M aranello an "instant classic" and vindicated Ferrari's decision to return to a front engine high perform ance car. Styling m odifications have been lim ited to those required by the technical changes intro duced on the new m odel. T here's a different shape and size for the air intakes at the front o f the car, which im prove the car's aerodynam ic and fluid-dynam ic efficiency, and there is a al and longitudinal grip. The 575M M aranello is also fitted with tyre pressure sensors, so that the pressure o f each tyre can be checked at all tim es, even when the car is m oving. The interior o f the 575M M aranello has been extensively revised. All the dials are now grouped together in one single pod in front of the driver, with the rev counter in the middle.
