Full throttle with a V12! In this way, Ferrari “gets around” new emissions standards

Electrification is something all car manufacturers have to believe in. Nevertheless, Ferrari has apparently found a way to continue using a V12.

Although the CO2 emissions of boats are increasingly being restricted and in Amsterdam, for example, only electric boats will be allowed from 2025, there are only a few emission standards in this area.

This way you won’t pay a BPM penalty on a boat and you won’t be charged a “motorboat tax” or anything similar based on fuel type and weight.

In short, you pay the same tax for a 12-cylinder Ferrari boat as for an electric boat, although the VAT will be higher for a Maranello example.

Speed ​​record

It’s unclear whether Ferrari will actually put a V12 in a boat. The brand had previously installed a twelve-cylinder engine in a boat. For example, in the 1950s, a water speed record was set with a boat equipped with the V12 engine of the Ferrari 375 F1. The Riva Ferrari 32 speedboat, which was delivered later, had four fewer cylinders.

Much about the boat remains unclear for the time being. However, we assume that the boat has hydrofoils, just like the BMW boat.
