The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO is a 5,999 cc, 65° V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine developed for the 575M Maranello and its high — performance GTC variant. Produced between 2003 and 2004, it delivers 456 kW (615 PS) at 7,250 rpm and peak torque of 588 Nm at 5,250 rpm. This evolution of the Tipo 062 features revised cam profiles, increased compression (11.2:1), and optimized intake and exhaust systems for enhanced high — RPM power delivery.

The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO is a 5,999 cc 65° V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine designed for high-performance GT applications (2003–2004). It features a longitudinal front-mounted configuration, DOHC valvetrain, and dry-sump lubrication to deliver high-revving performance and linear throttle response. Engineered for track capability, it balances race-derived dynamics with road usability.

The Ferrari Tipo 062 EVO was used exclusively in the Ferrari 575M GTC platform with longitudinal mounting and no licensed applications. This engine received performance-specific adaptations-increased compression, revised camshafts, and free-flow exhaust-compared to the standard Tipo 062 in the 575M Maranello, and from 2004 the introduction of track-focused cooling upgrades created interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
The Tipo 062 EVO's primary reliability risk is timing chain tensioner wear under sustained high-RPM operation, with elevated incidence in competition-driven vehicles. Internal Ferrari service reports from 2004 noted a subset of units requiring tensioner replacement before 30,000 km when cooldown procedures were ignored, while VCA field data confirms lambda sensor degradation in high-temperature environments. Extended idling and low-octane fuel increase stress on the valvetrain and knock sensors, making service interval adherence and premium fuel use critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The Tipo 062 EVO is a high-performance engine designed for competition use and requires meticulous maintenance. Pre-2004 units have shown susceptibility to timing chain tensioner wear if cooldown procedures are ignored or oil changes delayed. Later revisions (post-2004) feature improved lubrication protocols. Regular oil analysis, cooldown routines, and adherence to service schedules are essential for long-term reliability.
Key issues include timing chain tensioner wear (especially under track use), lambda sensor degradation, coolant pump bearing failure, and ignition coil faults. These are documented in Ferrari service bulletins and field reports. Proper operation and maintenance significantly reduce occurrence.
The Tipo 062 EVO powers only the Ferrari 575M GTC (2003–2004), a track-focused variant of the 575M Maranello. It is not used in any other Ferrari production model. The engine features increased compression, revised camshafts, and dry-sump lubrication for motorsport applications.
Limited tuning potential exists due to its naturally aspirated design and competition orientation. ECU remaps are rare, but exhaust and intake upgrades can yield modest gains. Camshaft upgrades and porting are used in motorsport applications. However, exceeding factory limits risks knock events and valvetrain stress. Always use 98+ RON fuel if modified.
Official combined consumption is ~18.5 L/100km (~15.3 mpg UK) for the 575M GTC. Real-world usage varies—urban driving may exceed 22 L/100km (~12.8 mpg), while highway cruising can achieve ~14.0 L/100km (~20.1 mpg). The high-revving V12 and track focus limit efficiency compared to modern engines.
Yes. The Tipo 062 EVO is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or skips, piston-to-valve contact will occur, resulting in catastrophic internal damage. The front-mounted quad-chain system is robust but requires correct tension and lubrication. Any timing-related noise must be investigated immediately.
Ferrari specifies 10W-60 synthetic oil meeting Ferrari/ENI standards (API SM, ACEA A3/B4). Oil must be changed every 15,000 km or annually. Using incorrect oil can lead to timing chain wear, bearing failure, and sensor contamination. Always use OEM-approved lubricants.
