But, speech from those e-turbos, Ferrari mastered each this worldly years ago. It’s the hybrid elements and bundle engineering that demonstrates what a accelerated trajectory these guys are present on. Rather than relying connected outer suppliers, Ferrari is taking charge, having precocious opened the caller ‘E’ building. Its archetypal afloat electrical car is owed to look this clip adjacent year, but the hardware is already successful accumulation successful this expansive Mario Cucinella-designed space.
The electrical motors utilized connected the F80 are frankincense wholly proprietary, with the purpose of maximizing show portion minimizing weight. There are 2 connected the beforehand axle and 1 connected the rear, to present torque vectoring and all-wheel drive.
The electrical beforehand axle besides houses an inverter and cooling system, the full assembly weighing conscionable 61.5 kg. That’s 14 kg little than the equivalent set-up connected the SF90 model. The inverter is bi-directional, truthful that alternating existent produced by the e-axle nether regenerative braking is turned into nonstop existent to complaint the battery. The inverter connected the rear MGU-K e-motor is utilized to commencement the combustion engine, retrieve vigor to the battery, and supply torque-fill nether load. Both inverters are governed by an incredibly compact power module.
The e-motor’s stator and rotor beryllium successful what’s called a Halbach array, which targets and maximizes the density of the magnetic field. The magnets’ sleeve is made of c fiber, allowing it to rotation astatine up to 30,000rpm. Both are solutions derived from Formula One. A unsocial DC/DC converter means that 1 constituent tin grip 800 V, 48 V and 12 V simultaneously. Ferrari says it has a conversion ratio of 98 percent, and it reduces value and complexity.
The precocious voltage artillery (860 V, successful fact) is besides straight influenced by F1: 204 lithium cells are grouped successful 3 modules successful a c fibre lawsuit that sits debased successful the chassis to support an optimum halfway of gravity. It’s each successful the assistance of performance: Unlike the 296 GTB, determination is nary EV mode connected this thing. With a adust value of 1,525 kg, it’s 125 kg heavier than the McLaren W1, but its British rival lacks an electrified beforehand axle, and frankincense the Ferrari’s torque vectoring and all-wheel drive.
Unbelievable Aero
Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and W1, the F80 utilizes ground effect aerodynamics. In total, it tin make 1,000 kg of downforce astatine 155 mph, a metric to conjure with fixed that this is chiefly a roadworthy car.
A beforehand triplane helping inspired by the instrumentality utilized connected the Le Mans-winning 499P, level underbody, S-duct, raised “keel”, rear diffuser and an progressive rear helping each enactment successful tandem with the F80’s progressive suspension to make unprecedented stableness without hurting the car’s on-road dynamics.
