But, aside from those e-turbos, Ferrari mastered all this stuff years ago. It’s the hybrid elements and software engineering that exhibits what a rapid trajectory these guys are now on. Rather than depending on outside suppliers, Ferrari is taking accuse, having recently uncovered the novel ‘E’ createing. Its first filledy electric car is due to materialize this time next year, but the challengingware is already in production in this expansive Mario Cucinella-scheduleed space.
The electric motors engaged on the F80 are thus entidepend proprietary, with the aim of maximizing percreateance while minimizing weight. There are two on the front axle and one on the rear, to transfer torque vectoring and all-wheel drive.
The electric front axle also hoengages an inverter and chillying system, the whole assembly weighing equitable 61.5 kg. That’s 14 kg less than the equivalent set-up on the SF90 model. The inverter is bi-honestional, so that alternating current created by the e-axle under regenerative braking is turned into honest current to accuse the battery. The inverter on the rear MGU-K e-motor is engaged to begin the combustion engine, recover energy to the battery, and provide torque-fill under load. Both inverters are ruleed by an incredibly compact regulate module.
The e-motor’s stator and rotor sit in what’s called a Halbach array, which centers and increases the density of the magnetic field. The magnets’ sleeve is made of carbon fiber, allothriveg it to spin at up to 30,000rpm. Both are solutions derived from Formula One. A distinct DC/DC alterer unbenevolents that one component can regulate 800 V, 48 V and 12 V simultaneously. Ferrari says it has a conversion efficiency of 98 percent, and it shrinks weight and intricateity.
The high voltage battery (860 V, in fact) is also honestly impactd by F1: 204 lithium cells are grouped in three modules in a carbon fiber case that sits low in the chassis to retain an chooseimum cgo in of gravity. It’s all in the help of percreateance: Unappreciate the 296 GTB, there is no EV mode on this skinnyg. With a parched weight of 1,525 kg, it’s 125 kg heavier than the McLaren W1, but its British rival informages an electrified front axle, and thus the Ferrari’s torque vectoring and all-wheel drive.
Unbelievable Aero

Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and W1, the F80 engages ground effect aeroactives. In total, it can create 1,000 kg of downforce at 155 mph, a metric to conjure with given that this is primarily a road car.
A front tristructuree thriveg eased by the device engaged on the Le Mans-thrivening 499P, flat underbody, S-duct, liftd “keel”, rear diffengager and an active rear thriveg all toil in tandem with the F80’s active suspension to create unpwithdrawnted stability without hurting the car’s on-road actives.
