Ferrari manufactured a series of 3.0-litre, naturally-aspirated, V10 racing engines, exclusively for their Formula One race cars, between 1996 and 2005. They chose a V10 engine configuration, because it offered the best compromise between power and fuel efficiency; the V12 was powerful but thirsty while the V8 was weaker but economical. They switched to 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine configuration for 2006.

Over its decade-long evolution, power levels varied; from 715 hp (533 kW; 725 PS) at 15,500 rpm in 1996, to over 900 horsepower, around 935 hp (697 kW; 948 PS) at 19,000 rpm, toward the end of the 2005 season. The Tipo 05 series of engines, produced between 2001 and 2005, was officially stated to produce between 825 hp (615 kW; 836 PS) at 17,800 rpm, and 865 hp (645 kW; 877 PS) at 18,300 rpm. In qualifying mode, these engine were reputed to develop up to, or at times over, 900 horsepower (670 kW) at 19,000 rpm.
