If today were a Ferrari, it would be a 2.4 litre V8.
But, I hear people say, Ferrari didn’t have a 248. They had a 246, a 308, a 328 and so on. No 248.
But they did. Their 2006 F1 car, just for that year, used their road car (and sometime race) nomenclature. It was the first year of what we might as well call the 248 formula, with the previous shrieking V10s consigned to the history books. Power was therefore down on the previous year, with the 248 starting the season with just 730 bhp and ending with in the region of 785, not to be sneezed at in a 2.4 NA engine. Despite the new engine the car itself was a development of the previous year’s, the adventurously named F2005.
There were 18 races that year and the 248 won half of them, not enough win either the driver’s or constructor’s championships. They did get second in each though.

Not even their only 248. Here’s the other one, 248 SP.
