Over the past week, several stories have been published on the Internet speculating about Ferrari working on a motorcycle engine after a patent lodged by the firm was published in the European Patent Office (EPO) website.
The patent showed a cruiser-style motorcycle with a V-Twin engine and stories quickly linked the patent to the development of an actual Ferrari motorcycle.
Ferrari’s Northern European spokesperson Jason Harris has now been quoted by MCN of dismissing any such plans and saying that “there is no motorcycle future for Ferrari.”
Harris has gone on to explain that the image of the motorcycle was only used to demonstrate the technology Ferrari has chosen to protect. The patent was filed for a new balancing technology that eliminates the need for a balancer shaft as it manages to balance each side of the Vee of an engine at the planes of the crank, Harris was quoted as saying.
Ferrari’s patent explores the vibrational forces in a V-Twin engine and eliminating the need for a balancer shaft has benefits in terms of weight and packaging. What was demonstrated as a V-Twin can actually be replicated on a V4, V6, V8 or V12 engine, Harris explained and put to rest any further speculation about a V-Twin motorcycle from Ferrari.
