During a telephone call, Enzo Ferrari invited Materazzi to visit his office and discuss a job offer that would involve him taking responsibility for engine development, in particular with regards to turbocharging. After the successful agreement, the company released an article in the Italian press with the title "The technical expert who knows everything about the turbo has left Osella and joined Ferrari." </p><p>Mr. Ferrari, who was 100% in control of the Gestione Sportiva (Racing Division), structured the 1981 staff with Mauro Forghieri as technical director, Angiolino Marchetti as head of vehicle design, Gianfranco Poncini as head of structural and aerodynamic calculations, and Nicola Materazzi as head of the technical office for all development of chassis and engines. </p><p>The racing department of Ferrari in the 1980s was of relatively limited size, so there was daily discussion between Ferrari, Forghieri, Materazzi, Tomaini, and other experienced engineers in the team. </p><p>Materazzi in particular was in a delicate position once the turbocharged engines started to run "in anger" on the cars, due to the need to control any reliability issues and prevent failures that would cause the drivers to retire from a race. The turbo cars were powerful, but the technology of the time was not always fully robust. Enzo Ferrari asked to anticipate the introduction of the turbo on the 126 car, while Materazzi argued that some additional time was required to prove on the dynamometers that the engine would run for the required race distances. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ferrari_288_GTO_(1).JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG/220px-Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="148" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG/330px-Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG/440px-Ferrari_288_GTO_%281%29.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3134" data-file-height="2104" /></a><figcaption>Ferrari 288 GTO</figcaption></figure> <p>Owing in part to his total passion for engineering and in part due to not being married, Materazzi was fully dedicated to his work. Ferrari understood this driving passion and sought to encourage him to take on some issues that were predominant in the road car division, where the old man, however, did not have full control; it was FIAT who controlled the Gestione Industriale (Industrial Division). Enzo Ferrari lamented that new emissions regulations and cost economising had made the new cars "sleepy," in other words, heavy or underpowered. He felt that Materazzi could look into the powertrain designs and breathe new life into them, bringing the racing know-how into the hands of the gentleman customer. </p><p>On a late evening in Ferrari's office, the two discussed the project for an engine, where Materazzi clearly stated that a road car engine with three litres of displacement should allow for at least 400 horsepower and not merely 300, as the initial specification stated. Ferrari took this bold statement as an opportunity to delegate the responsibility to him, something Materazzi initially declined due to other racing commitments but reluctantly accepted after the insistence of the old man. The work on the engine then led to more work on the general layout of the (288) GTO vehicle, where Materazzi chose to install the engine longitudinally to allow better space and equal exhaust lengths for the turbocharging. </p><p>The GTO Evoluzione was unfortunately a victim of the cancellation of the FISA Group B championship. It was ready and should have been produced in the numbers required for homologation but for the deaths of Toivonen and Cresto. The few cars that were built were sold to a handful of enthusiasts, and one or more remained parked in a corner of the workshops. Ferrari entrusted one of the experienced test drivers to try it on the road and asked Materazzi why the car would be "killed" and if it could please be developed into a road car. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg/220px-Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg/330px-Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg/440px-Ferrari_288_GTO.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1200" /></a><figcaption>Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione</figcaption></figure> <p>Materazzi pointed out to Ferrari that it would be very tricky to develop a car in a very short space of time, but that it could be possible if he did not have interference from people and politics. Ferrari thus invited Materazzi to choose his collaborators and, due to his habit of noting everything day by day in a diary, wrote down "Materazzi, no rompicoglioni": Materazzi, no ball-busters (interfering). This agreement after the meeting meant that the project for a new car (the name was not yet chosen) started on 10 June 1986. It was not possible to schedule a launch in October (Frankfurt) because that would have clashed with the Alfa Romeo 164. Instead of postponing the date, Mr. Ferrari insisted that the car be presented before the August holidays, putting considerable pressure on Materazzi to complete the work in just 12 months, which was achieved by working on week-ends and bank holidays. The car was presented to the press during a relatively low-key event at the Civic Centre in Maranello on 21 July 1987, where (from left to right) Materazzi, Fioravanti, Ferrari, and Razelli sat at the table to answer questions from the press. </p><p>The F40 was described in certain press articles as Ferrari's answer to the Porsche 959 owing to the similar release dates. Materazzi, however, confirmed that this was not possible since the Porsche Gruppe B prototype was initiated by Porsche's management (Bott & Schutz) in 1981 and manufactured from 1986 after delays in development related to the high technological content (and related workload). Materazzi always maintained that, logically, only the 288 GTO was the competitor to the 959 due to its development from 1983 to 1984, with the brief to bring more performance to the road cars which Ferrari felt were underpowered. The GTO's link with FISA Group B was predominantly an opportunity to prove the car rather than the raison d'etre of the GTO. The F40, whose development was initiated in June 1986, was a car borne out of the GTO Evoluzione but without any specific brief to match the 959 technical content (4WD, adaptive damping, etc.). </p><p>In August 1987, Enzo Ferrari decided to hand the role of technical director for the road car division to Materazzi, but because FIAT had overall control of that division, it chose instead a manager from Carraro Tractors (then part of the FIAT group). This decision led to Materazzi's departure from Ferrari and employment at the Cagiva motorcycle company, upon invitation from its MD Claudio Castiglioni. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Motorcycles_and_Bugatti_(1989–1997)"><span id="Motorcycles_and_Bugatti_.281989.E2.80.931997.29"></span>Motorcycles and Bugatti (1989–1997)</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nicola_Materazzi&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Motorcycles and Bugatti (1989–1997)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_(bearb_-_kl).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg/220px-2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg/330px-2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg/440px-2007-06-15_18_Bugatti_EB_110_%28bearb_-_kl%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3095" data-file-height="2063" /></a><figcaption>Bugatti EB 110</figcaption></figure> <p>After leaving Ferrari, he joined <a href="/wiki/Cagiva" title="Cagiva">Cagiva</a> as director of the racing department from 1990 to 1991.

So good was the EB110 compared to its rivals during a group test by Michael Schumacher that he ordered one in yellow with a blue comfort interior.<sup id="cite_ref-EvoMag_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EvoMag-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Schumi_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schumi-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1994, Materazzi assumed the technical direction of <a href="/wiki/Laverda" title="Laverda">Laverda</a> to work on the new 750cc engine.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="B_Engineering_Edonis_(2000–2005)"><span id="B_Engineering_Edonis_.282000.E2.80.932005.29"></span>B Engineering Edonis (2000–2005)</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nicola_Materazzi&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: B Engineering Edonis (2000–2005)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Edonis.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Edonis.jpg/220px-Edonis.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="69" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Edonis.jpg/330px-Edonis.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Edonis.jpg/440px-Edonis.jpg 2x" data-file-width="594" data-file-height="185" /></a><figcaption>B.

In the summer of 2002, French magazine Sport-Auto organised a comparison amongst supercars at the Nardo' circuit in Puglia, southern Italy.
