166 cc per cylinder. “MM” for Mille Miglia.Ferrari named legends with engine math

The Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta V12 Engine

This engine belongs to the Ferrari 166 MM—the car Ferrari unveiled at a motor show for the first time, at the Turin Motor Show on 15 September 1948. The “MM” stands for Mille Miglia, and “166” points to Ferrari’s early logic: unit displacement per cylinder (166.25 cc), multiplied across 12 cylinders to reach roughly 2.0 litres (1995 cc).

The 166 MM was most famously bodied by Carrozzeria Touring (Milan) using the Superleggera (“Superlight”) method—one reason these cars feel so alive, even standing still. Production numbers are rare-car territory: references typically place total build in the low-40s, often cited around 39–46 cars, depending on classification.

In this close frame, what pulls you in is the “human” side of engineering: the triple Weber carburetors and the linkage/selector hardware that synchronises them—tiny rods, levers, and adjustments that turn fuel and air into response. For Ferrari enthusiasts, this V12 is functional sculpture — it anchors a room with heritage, craft, and quiet authority. Under the Grand Palais glass, the engine reads like art because every line had a purpose: to endure, and to win.

MATERIALS

Printed on Fine Art Paper

We use museum-grade fine art paper to honour each photograph’s depth, texture and tones, giving collectors a print that feels rich, calm and built to last.

Depth & Detail

Giclée printing on fine art paper delivers intense, even colours and smooth gradients, achievable only with dedicated pigment printers – every reflection and contour stays beautifully defined.

MADE TO COLLECT

Archival fine art paper and pigment inks keep tones stable and paper smooth for decades, so each piece can live like a true collectible – signed, certified, and ready to enter a serious collection.

CALM, MATTE FINISH

The soft matte surface keeps reflections low and colours gentle on the eye, so the photograph looks composed and readable in real rooms – from bright living spaces to focused gallery walls.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

CARING FOR YOUR FINE ART PRINT

Fine art giclée prints on archival cotton paper are made to last for generations when treated with care. Handle yours by the edges, keep it away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources, and always frame it under glass or plexiglass. To clean, dust only the frame or glazing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
