Ferrari 458 / F12 / California Starter Motor — OEM 248743
Genuine OEM starter motor for the Ferrari 458, F12, and California. Factory-original starting system unit delivering the cranking torque required to turn over Ferrari's high-compression naturally aspirated V8 and V12 architectures across this engine family — sourced directly from Ferrari's OEM supply chain.

⚠️ VIN confirmation required. This part number spans three distinct Ferrari platforms covering both V8 (F136) and V12 (F140) engine families. Starter motor specification — including pinion engagement, gear ratio, and solenoid rating — can vary by engine displacement, compression ratio, and market configuration. Confirm against your VIN and engine code before ordering.
Why OEM Ferrari's high-compression naturally aspirated V8 and V12 engines place demanding and precise requirements on starter engagement geometry and sustained cranking amperage. Aftermarket starter motors on these platforms commonly present:
- Pinion misengagement causing progressive ring gear wear
- Insufficient cranking torque on the F12's 6.3L V12 under high-compression cold-start conditions
- Premature solenoid failure under repeated hot-start cycles
- Fitment interference in the tight packaging of mid-engine (458) and front-mid (F12, California) layouts
This is the factory-spec unit — correct pinion tooth count, engagement dwell, solenoid rating, and mounting geometry for clean ring gear mesh and reliable starts across the full operating temperature range.
Platform & Generation Note This part number bridges Ferrari's last generation of large-displacement naturally aspirated engines before the turbocharged F154 era. The 458 Speciale and F12tdf represent the high-compression extreme of this family — cranking demands on these variants are at the upper limit of the V8/V12 NA envelope. Confirm variant-specific fitment carefully for these models.
Installation Note Starter motor access on mid-engine Ferrari platforms (458) typically requires partial undertray removal. On the F12 and California, confirm wiring harness connector condition and battery isolator function before fitting. Post-installation, verify cranking voltage and starter engagement with diagnostic tooling before returning the vehicle to service.
