Ferrari’s head honcho has revealed some information on the replacement of the legendary Enzo, and it looks like hybrid technology may be in the cards.
Amedeo Felisa said the knowledge Ferrari has gained in developing the KERS system used by the F1 team could prove beneficial for upcoming road cars.
The Kinetic Energy Recovery System recovers energy that would normally be lost and uses it to boost the performance of F1 cars under acceleration, but it’s not a hybrid system per say, even though it uses similar technology.
Felisa specified that any hybrid system “must focus on improving efficiency and not just be about performance.”
The Enzo’s successor will be featuring a mid-mounted V12 and carbon fibre chassis, two key ingredients for an explosive formula.
Nine years after the Enzo’s unveiling, which will go down as a highlight in automotive history, Ferrari evidently has the intention of pushing the envelope yet again.
