Ferrari F12berlinetta and HY-KERS Hybrid At Beijing Auto Show
The base engine for the successor to the "Ferrari Enzo is a derivative of the 740 bhp 6.3 liter V12 in F12berlinetta. To achieve more power to come - probably around 900 hp - while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while not scuppers to run will also feature a new Ferrari HY-KERS", a development in the previous KERS from the target.
Electric motor
Drive unit is shown in a car in Beijing, China, consisting of twelve mounted midships engine and transmission with double clutch, coupled to an electric motor. A second" electric motor" is provided for the auxiliary systems and positioned to the V12. A battery provides power and will be determined location in the Ferrari F70 (code name) get.
Two years after the KERS shown mounted on the 599, Ferrari is the extent that the aid system is significantly lighter, smaller and more powerful than the original and can seriously contribute to improved performance. Of course also reveals HY-KERS is still necessary to weight the car, but Ferrari has set a goal that for every kilogram that the system weighs 1.36 added hp of power. Total power consumption increased by about 10% while emissions compared to the V12-free hybrid about 40% lower.
In the experimental phase, the new powertrain shows the desired result to be achieved. Soon, practice test for the V12 exhibits hybrid construction can continue. It seeks at least for smooth and continuous power transmission between the electric motor to gasoline engine, while breaking the "electric motor as a generator. The kinetic energy released would then be used to charge the battery to recharge". This task is controlled by the ECU which is also derived from Formula 1 and also distributes a great power for auxiliary systems
