This engine dynamometer was obtained from the Ferrari factory by Garage Francorchamps in 1953. It had been used for a further 30 years before it was acquired from the Francorchamps Collection by the previous owner in 2008. It was then subsequently purchased for the Andrews Collection, where it has been a popular focal point of their automotive display.

It is currently fitted with a 4.0-liter V-12 engine, number 5263, from a 330 GT 2+2, but it can be mated to any V-12 Ferrari engine. The dynamometer also features correct Ferrari Veglia gauges, which monitor all of the engine’s parameters. It is a fully functioning unit that can be turned on with an ignition key and the press of a button. The exhaust exits out the back through a set of headers and exhaust pipes, and the engine is kept cool by a side-mounted radiator.

This V-12 roars to life in an instant and can be controlled by the operator with ease. It is perhaps the ultimate garage toy for the tifosi who has everything, and it would certainly be the most unique talking point of any exceptional collection.
