	Aurelio Lampredi - WOI Encyclopedia Italia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Lampredi's fame brought him to Ferrari in 1946 where he designed a large 4.5 L V12 (the "Lampredi engine") which first saw use in 1950's 257S.
		Lampredi returned to Isotta-Fraschini in March of 1947 but returned to Ferrari at the beginning of 1948.
		Lampredi's engines were used as large naturally-aspirated alternatives to the diminutive Gioacchino Colombo-designed V12s used in most Ferrari cars until that time.

		Aurelio Lampredi is not to be seen in the photographs taken of this memorable occasion; he had had enough of Ferrari for the present and had left the factory to return to work at Isotta Fraschini on March the 27th.
		Lampredi said, on viewing a future collaborating with Colombo: “I was very happy, I thought I should learn something from this arrangement.” In fact: “It was a bit disappointing, because I became aware (that) he was a very intelligent person, but also a little eccentric, who improvised a lot.
		Lampredi further said: “When Busso left and I was on my own, I immediately strengthened the technical department; I called in two boys who were with me at Reggiane’s where I had taken them on when they were still wearing short pants, because at that time, there were not many people around.

	ZoomInfo Web Summary: Aurelio Lampredi
		Aurelio Lampredi was the head of the design office at Ferrari in 1951 when the firm scored its first World Championship Grand Prix victory.
		Lampredi and Enzo Ferrari upset the racing establishment by making a 4.5-liter unsupercharged car that beat the dominant Alfa Romeo 158, which worked the other end of the existing formula by using a 1.5-liter supercharged engine.
		Lampredi exerted his authority and Colombo was made head of GT cars whilst Lampredi was made head of racing car development.

	Ferrari Lampredi engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lampredi went on to design a number of different straight-4, straight-6, and V12 engines through the 1950s, and it was these that would power the company's string of world championships that decade.
		Lampredi built a prototype with 4 valves per cylinder and 2.5 L (2493 cc) of displacement.
		The bore of the Lampredi I4 was nudged up to 103 mm (4.1 in) for the 3.0 L (2999.62 cc) unit used in the 1954 750 Monza.

	Ferrari 340/342/375
		Designed by Aurelio Lampredi, it was conceived around the prevailing Grand Prix formula, which limited displacement to 1500 cc supercharged or 4.5 litres unsupercharged.
		Lampredi's design followed the earlier Colombo engine in having two banks of six cylinders arrayed in a narrow vee, with a single overhead camshaft per bank and two inclined valves per cylinder with hairpin-type springs.
		Bore-centre spacing was spread from 90 to 108 mm to allow for greater displacement, roller cam followers were used instead of the Colombo's plain finger-type, intake ports were separate instead of siamesed, and cylinder barrels screwed into the head rather than being pressed into the block.

	Fiat - Lampredi 790 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Well maybe if Dante Giacosa (designer of the Fiat 500) and Aurelio Lampredi could have had some RandD time together and with enough persuasive powers (Lampredi was commissioned to build an air cooled rear mounted motor for the Fiat 500) a LAMPREDI powered 500 could have been a reality before today.
		Aurelio Lampredi actually had already studied a twin-cylinder of a "massive" 2.5 litres at Ferrari in 1955 however the engine never did get the green light for competition.
		14years after Aurelio Lampredi’s death a derivative of the Fiat SOHC engine (and in latter years the Fiat Tipo, Brava, Bravo and Multiplia and now the engine is of 16 valve configuration) is born named "Lampredi" as a tribute to the master (Hopefully Aurelio Lampredi would have given this his personal approval to this project).

		This was the first version of the engine that would dominate the 500 miles until 1976 under the brand Miller and later Offenhauser.
		Another engine that played an important role in Racing history is the Straight-4 Ferrari engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi.
		This engine was originally designed as a 2 litre Formula 2 engine for the Ferrari 500 but evolved to 2.5 litres to compete in Formula 1 in the Ferrari 625.

	Ferrari 340 America
		Before the 340 was officially launched, two 3.3-litre Lampredi V12's were fitted into a pair of 275 S sports racers (0030 MT and 0032 MT), Touring of Milan equipping both cars with skimpy Barchetta bodies.
		Ferrari then displayed 0030 MT as a 340 America on their stand at the Paris Salon during October 1950, but it was March 1951 before the first scratch built example was seen.
		The first Lampredi engines developed for use in anything other than a Grand Prix car had been those experimental 3.3-litre units plumbed into Ferrari's aforementioned 275 S sports racers.

	Ferrari 342 America Coupe Speciale 0246AL information, specifications, history, and images.
		Lampredi's new engine was successful in taking the Grand Prix championship from Alfa Romeo and its superior power and torque were quickly and successfully employed by Ferrari in sports cars competition.
		This was the 340 America and it was built in a bewildering array of styles and specifications ranging from lighter-weight berlinettas and spyders to luxury coupes and cabriolets.
		In a departure from Ferrari's exclusive practice of reserving even chassis numbers for its competition cars, Ferrari acknowledged the competition heritage of the Lampredi V-12 powered 342 America by conferring even numbers of all six of them, a convention that was not followed by the succeeding 240 Europa and 375 America models.

	A New Direction
		A promising young engineer Aurelio Lampredi, who had served as an assistant to Colombo, was convinced that he could obtain more power and better fuel consumption from an unblown 4.5 litre engine.
		Since the unsupercharged capacity allowance in Grand Prix racing was 4500cc Lampredi's goal was to get as close as possible to this maximum allowance so he increased the engine dimensions by about 13cm (5 inches).
		In spite of this inauspicious beginning, for Aurelio Lampredi the Ferrari 275S was the start of a series of successes.

		Alberto Ascari drove 4.5 litre Lampredi powered Ferrari at 1952 Indy's 500, and was moving up the order when his right rear wheel collapsed, thus ending the only Scuderia outing at that event.
		Enzos mind was always set on racing and Lampredi engine has shown Scuderia at its finest in the events such as Carrera Panamericana, gruelling road race in the US and Mexico.
		What usually happened next was that Ferrari suspension cried out "I cant take it anymore", or events such as testers from the US sports car mag, hopping from a MG in an unsuspecting 412 America, flooring it only to blow the rear axle assembly.

	Cartype : Ferrari logo
		Colombo's influence persisted with Ferrari into the sixties, although he actually left Ferrari in 1950 and was succeeded by Aurelio Lampredi. In the meantime the V12 engine was enlarged to 1955cc, and fitted into a very stark sportscar known as the Tipo166.
		Some Fiat parts were used on his very early sports cars, but when Colombo designed new cars after the war, they were a "pure" Ferrari product with dohc 1.5 litre, 2 litre and 2.5 litre V12 engines in various stages of tune.
		After 1950, Lampredi designed 4.5 litre and also 2 litre (4 cylinder) sports and racing cars for Maranello, where V12s of 4.1 litres, 4.5 litres and even 4.9 litres were built.

		The Lampredi V12 engine was retained but with the bore increased by 4mm to 86 (so 4962cc), with the factory claiming a likely optimistic 340bhp at 6000rpm.
		The Lampredi block was carried over, for the simple reason that it was the only one in the range capable of accommodating the large bore dimensions, but with spark plugs relocated to the outside of the vee and above the exhaust manifolds.
		To counter the increased loads, the running gear received a makeover, too, with the brake drums increasing in diameter to those used on the firm's sports-racers (the difference being that here they had to retard 3550lb) while the track was widened by more than 10cm.

	Ferrari 250 Europe Aluminium Coupé - Practical Classics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In the early 1950s Ferrari was far more concerned with the manufacture of competition cars for itself and selected customers than with building road cars, but nevertheless took the first steps towards series, if limited, production with the 250 Europa.
		In ‘250’ form, the Lampredi unit featured ‘square’ bore/ stroke dimensions of 68x68mm and produced around 220bhp.
		Lampredi’s race-proven ‘long block’ V12 endowed the Europa with phenomenal performance among contemporary GT cars - the speedometer reads to 300km/h (186mph) - and was the chosen engine for Ferrari’s early sports-racing cars.

	Ferrari 342 America
		The 342's longitudinally-mounted Lampredi 60° V12 (designated Tipo 342) was essentially a de-tuned 340 America unit (Tipo 340/A).
		Thanks to a bore and stroke of 80 x 68mm respectively, displacement was 4101cc, output varying between 200 and 220bhp at 6000rpm.
		With Ferrari wanting the interiors to provide plenty of space, it was necessary to shift the Lampredi engine forward by nearly a foot compared to the 340 America.

		Aware that his erstwhile employer was planning a return to racing with a revised Tipo 159 for 1951, Ferrari began developing a series of large-capacity un-blown cars as an alternative to the 125 F1.
		With Colombo departed, Aurelio Lampredi was assigned the task of designing what would become known as the 'long-block', 60-degree, V12 engines.
		Ferrari wasted no time in exploring the potential of Lampredi's successful, Grand Prix, 'long-block' V12 engine as a road-going power unit, introducing the 340 America at the Paris Salon in October 1950, just a few months after its 4.1-litre engine's race debut.

		Although it was Lampredi himself who designed the singleseater with which Ferrari won the first two world championships (1952-1953), and achieved other unforgettable successes, when the Lancia material arrived the designer had virtually been shown the door at Ferrari, overnight..
		His role as an engine designer at Fiat gave him continued professional satisfaction, but did not assuage his taste for the vendetta he was still pursuing: the 2300S project might have been made for him.
