ferrari’s new F80 hypercar It records the track being driven on and strengthens the driver at the right time during the next lap. The ‘Boost Optimization’ feature reads the straight lines and curves of the circuit and delivers more power to the hybrid system to achieve the best possible lap time without any further input from the driver. Helpful.
Boost optimization in “Performance” mode allows you to get a steady amount of power across your drive for as long as possible. Alternatively, you can choose “Qualify” mode to maximize boost power at the right time at the expense of losses. Battery power is fast. Unlike Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB, there is no all-electric driving mode.
The F80 features a 4WD powertrain with a rear V6 engine that outputs 900 horsepower, and when combined with three electric motors, the maximum output reaches 1200 horsepower. Ferrari says this makes the F80 “the most powerful road car ever”. This electric motor is the first fully developed and manufactured by a car manufacturer and is derived from the MGU-K motor design used in Formula 1.
Two electric motors are placed on the front axle alongside an inverter and an integrated cooling system, allowing for torque vectoring and weight reduction. A DC-DC converter outputting 800, 48, and 12 volts helps save weight because the F80 doesn’t need a separate 48-volt battery to power the active suspension and e-turbo system.
The F80 also features a ‘Digital Twin’ sideslip control system and active aero that can increase downforce and maintain optimal balance during cornering.
Ferrari’s F80 is limited to just 799 units, priced at over $3 million. roads and trackshas already been assigned to the current customer.
