    Ferrari test new V8 (audio file)

    Earlier this week the new V8 engine was put through its paces and on its first outing was only 2 seconds slower than the V10 engined car.

    It's a screamer:

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Ive heard elsewhere its running with a modified V10 block somehow, could provide a clue to its somewhat flawless run. Either way, within 2 seconds is pretty good regardless and shows a good indication of their determination to get back to the top of the podium

    Yeah they ran the crankshaft and pistons in a V10 block a few weeks ago, but this a proper V8 mounted in a modified F2004. Toyota's V8 performance showed similar performance, lapping as close as 3 seconds off the pace of the V10, but that was a longer track.
