Could Britain extract useful engine technology from a Ferrari Enzo sent to 1934 before the Second World War?
Short answerPossibly, but with one example to study, it is uncertain how quickly the discoveries could become useful.
NotesA Ferrari Enzo sent to 1934 would give British engineers a working example of technologies then known only in theory. Some of what they found would demonstrate that ideas they had not made work were practicable. They would have only one car to take apart and put back together while studying it. Useful wartime applications are possible, but the time needed to develop them remains uncertain.
