What is the engine model of the Ferrari 575M?

F133A is the engine model used in the Ferrari 575M, with a maximum horsepower of 515 hp, a maximum power output of 379 KW, a maximum power speed of 7250 rpm, and a peak torque of 588 N.m. The engine of the Ferrari 575M is produced at the factory located south of Modena, Italy. For daily maintenance of the Ferrari 575M's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've driven my friend's 575M, which is powered by the engine code-named F133E, a 5.7-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine developed in-house by Ferrari. This beast can deliver a maximum of 515 horsepower, and the exhaust note under acceleration is like a symphony, effortlessly revving up to 7000 rpm. It features improved intake and ECU programming over its predecessor, the 550 Maranello, resulting in more linear acceleration and smooth performance even in city traffic jams. As a classic GT sports car, this engine pairs perfectly with the manual transmission, making every downshift and throttle blip addictive. Unfortunately, it's now discontinued, and well-maintained 575Ms in the used car market are still appreciating in value.
