As you know, 2014 marked the change of the current powertrain in favor of turbocharged V-shaped "sixes". Two manufacturers - Mercedes and Renault have already begun to test the new engine, but now on a bench test of the motor and of the Italian declared stable.
 

Despite the fact that the changes in the technical regulations will occur only in 2014, the development of new engines takes much more time and effort than their modernization. As the official site of the team Scuderia Ferrari, Maranello team along with other advanced significantly in the establishment "shestitsillindrovyh turbo."

"This is a very important and difficult stage of division of power units, - commented the head of engine and electronics Luke Marmorino. - We are working on the current motor, because the rest of the championship is very important to us, but no one mentions that we have to work with engine for 2013, and its installation in the chassis, which is also a difficult process. Finally, we have a new V6, and its first prototype already being tested on dyno-bench. This is an interesting development. "

At present, only Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault have confirmed the creation of the new engines, but the prospects of two other potentially this design offices still look hazy. As we mentioned earlier, the project PURE Craig Pollock had serious financial difficulties. A famous British engineering company Cosworth, probably not considering their participation in this process in 2014.
