The Porsche Type 360 Cisitalia Grand Prix engine was a 1.5-litre supercharged flat-12 racing engine, designed in 1946 and 1947 by Porsche together with the Italian firm Cisitalia for the Cisitalia Grand Prix car. It was introduced in 1949 and was meant to compete in Grand Prix racing, but the FIA introduced new engine regulations that banned forced induction from the 1952 Formula One season, which made the engine ineligible to race. It was therefore never raced, and its twelve horizontally opposed cylinders and supercharger remained a design that the rules overtook before it could be used in competition.
