Ferrari's power game is simple. Make an engine that can rev as high as possible that maintains its torque. Then fit the most aggressive gearing possible. Use 1st to 5th for acceleration and 6th longer for top speed. With the high redline, top speed will not suffer.

Not a particular fan of this philosophy, I much prefer an engine with lots of torque, now such an engine with aggressive gearing means ??? AWESOME performance. This is where the Zonda's upgraded powerplant really shines.



I think it's wonderful we have all those choices out there. For me, the high-rpm scream will always win out over low-end torque, even if it is not faster. The sound alone is worth any performance loss! For me, there is no emotion in a low revving, monster torque motor, and I've driven a number of them
