Exotic Ferrari F150 supercar in all advanced technology
Apparently, the Ferrari F150 supercar will not be alone a vehicle with advanced propulsion systems next year. Because McLaren also plans to launch a supercar that also carries the P1 hybrid system.
There was also a tough opponent from the camp through the model of Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid that is no less sophisticated.
One of the most important cars in the last decade is the replacement for the Enzo Ferrari supercar named by F150. Exotic vehicles will be introduced in the coming weeks.
Ferrari has released several pieces of an image that is still shrouded vehicles and introduce some of the technology of the vehicle. But so far, most are still kept secret.
Many readers who can not wait too long. Design Iacoski then publish the latest custom picture gives us a little idea what kind of look like the Ferrari F150 later.
Image rendering shows an evolution of the Enzo with some elements inspired by experiments Ferrari FXX racing car and Ferrari Formula 1 racing car. This is very reasonable because the chairman Flavio Manzoni F150 design has previously stated that he wants F1-inspired car.
The figure also shows that the F150 looks a lot like applying advanced aerodynamic package, such as active flaps in the front bumper.
At Ferrari F12 Berlinetta variant, the device open to direct air to the brake cooling duct, but it will be active only when operating at high temperatures to minimize air resistance.
In addition, the front snout and lights are also designed to improve downforce aka compressive force downward by channeling air to the top of the vehicle.
F150 vehicle body, made entirely from carbon fiber monocoque developed more than three years ago. While the design is menggawangi Rory Byrne, who is none other technical leaders Ferrari Formula 1 racing team.
He himself chose and sort four different types of carbon fiber monocoque body construction and planning materials with the same standards of Formula 1 racing cars.
Ferrari claims that the end result is a monocoque body that is able to present the torsional rigidity and stiffness of 27% that is 22% better than the Ferrari Enzo.
The structure will also be slightly smaller while enlarging the size of F150 will be equal to 458 Italia although he will carry the V12 engine and a hybrid system.
The engine itself is an evolution of the 6.2-liter unit belongs F12 Berlinetta with additional Hy-KERS hybrid Ferrari designed to increase power while lowering emissions.
Ferrari claims compared with non-hybrid engine, this engine only had a 10% reduction in acceleration from 0 to 200 km / h, yet CO2 emissions could be cut by up to 40%.
The system also allows the application of torque vectoring, traction control and brake force distribution are entirely beneficial to maningkatkan speed on the track.
Battery components made to optimize the weight and output, so that the components of the electric power generation F150 has a power to weight ratio equivalent to Formula 1 racing car. The total power generated by the engine F150 could be able to achieve 920 horsepower, while the total weight of the vehicle will not be more than 1,100 kg.
