Ferrari also built a flat-12 powered Formula One car using same chassis as the 158, designated the Ferrari 1512 or Ferrari 512 F1.[3] The flat-12 engine was designed by Mauro Forghieri and displaced 1, cc ( cu in) with a bore and stroke of mm × mm ( in × in). This engine developed 220 bhp (164 kW) @ 12,000 rpm[3] compared to the 210 bhp (157 kW) @ 11,000 rpm of the 158's V8 engine.[1] This power output made it one of the most powerful Formula One engines, second to Honda's RA271 V12. A total of three 1512 chassis were produced, numbered 0007, 0008 and 0009.[4] The 1512, with its larger, more powerful engine, was designed to be competitive on the longest, fastest circuits of the Formula One season, such as Reims, Spa, and Monza. In this role it complemented the lighter, nimbler V8-powered 158 which was more competitive on small, twisty circuits. The 1512 made its racing debut at the 1964 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, and raced alongside the 158 during the remainder of 1964 and into 1965
