Ferrari names new F1 car F138

Filed under: Motorsports, Performance, Europe, Ferrari, Racing



Don't call it the F150. Ferrari has officially announced it will name its newest Formula One car the F138. The machine is the 59th car Ferrari has built to compete in F1, and it's also the last of the company's F1 efforts to rely on a high-strung V8 for propulsion.

That moves brings an end to the eight-year reign the V8 enjoyed.
