The “Boost Optimization” diagnostic reads the straights and curves of the circuit and, with nary further enactment from the driver, delivers much powerfulness to its hybrid strategy to assistance execute the champion thigh clip possible.

You tin usage Boost Optimization successful “Performance” mode to get a accordant magnitude of electrical powerfulness for arsenic agelong arsenic imaginable passim your drive, oregon you tin prime “Qualify” mode to max retired connected boost powerfulness astatine the due times astatine the outgo of losing artillery powerfulness fast. Unlike Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB, determination is nary full-electric driving mode.

A DC-to-DC converter that outputs 800, 48, and 12 volts helps it prevention value since the F80 doesn’t request a abstracted 48-volt artillery to powerfulness its progressive suspension and e-turbo systems.

The F80 besides features a “digital twin” broadside gaffe power strategy and progressive aero that tin summation downforce portion cornering to support optimal balance.
