And the motion is transferred to the internal brake disks, the gear box, and the perforated bell housing so that they rotate simultaneously.The nickname “Sharknose” is indicative of its prominent oval radiator inlets in the front. Famous drivers clinched sensational victories with the “Sharknose,” the first Ferrari race car powered by a mid-mounted engine.
