The Ferrari 637 was a Ferrari racing car developed to compete in the American CART series, designed by Gustav Brunner. Enzo Ferrari commissioned it while unhappy with the impending Formula One engine regulations, and many believe his threat to leave Formula One for CART was a bargaining tool to make the FIA rethink them. After Truesports and driver Bobby Rahal demonstrated a March 85C-Cosworth in Italy at the end of the 1985 season, Ferrari studied that car and in 1986 designed and built its own, which Michele Alboreto tested. The upper body was aluminium, mechanically bonded and glued to a lower carbon fibre frame, and the car was powered by the turbocharged 2.65 litre V8 Type 034 engine. Although it was unveiled to the press in 1986 it never raced, and it was passed on to Alfa Romeo.
