Bio-ethanol E85 (up to 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) conversions are nothing new in the auto industry but you don’t see it happening everyday on brand new supercars of the likes of the Ferrari FF, which is why this project caught our attention.
According to the reports, the conversion to allow the Ferrari’s V12 engine to run on E85 fuel comes from Norwegian firm Customized.no and it costs just €1,500 or nearly US$2,000.
On regular fuel, the 6.3-liter lump delivers 660PS (651bhp) emitting 360 gr/km of CO2 emissions and accelerating the FF from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.7 seconds.
We have no way of officially confirming the numbers (nor if it will void the manufacturer’s warranty…), but it said that when running on E85 fuel, the FF’s V12 churns out 887PS (875bhp) and emits under 100g/km while reducing the sprint time to 100km/h below 3 seconds.
In any case, in the rare chance that you happen to own a Ferrari FF and are interested in the conversion, we’d strongly advise you to ask the company for more details.
