A V6 with a 120-degree cylinder angle was already powering a Ferrari in Formula 1 60 years ago. 40 years ago, Ferrari's second 120 V6 was fitted with two turbochargers for the first time.

This article explains the development of the individual engines and shows them in historical pictures and drawings.
