Ferrari’s new F80 hypercar tin grounds the way it is driving connected and will boost the driver astatine the correct clip during the adjacent lap. The “Boost Optimization” characteristic sounds the straights and curves of the circuit and, pinch nary further action from the driver, delivers much powerfulness to its hybrid strategy to thief execute the champion thigh clip possible.
You tin usage Boost Optimization successful “Performance” mode to get a accordant magnitude of electrical powerfulness for arsenic agelong arsenic imaginable passim your drive, aliases you tin prime “Qualify” mode to max retired connected boost powerfulness astatine the due times astatine the costs of losing artillery powerfulness fast. Unlike Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB, location is nary full-electric driving mode.

The F80 has a 4WD powertrain pinch a rear V6 motor that outputs 900 horsepower, and mixed pinch its 3 electrical motors, it reaches a maximum powerfulness output of 1200 horsepower. Ferrari states this makes the F80 its “most powerful roadworthy car ever.” The electrical motors are the first ones afloat developed and built by the automaker and are derived from the creation of the MGU-K centrifugal utilized successful F1.
Two electrical motors are placed connected the beforehand axle alongside an inverter and integrated cooling system, enabling torque vectoring and reduced weight. A DC-to-DC converter that outputs 800, 48, and 12 volts helps it prevention weight since the F80 doesn’t request a abstracted 48-volt artillery to powerfulness its progressive suspension and e-turbo systems.
The F80 besides features a “digital twin” broadside gaffe power strategy and progressive aero that tin summation downforce while cornering to support optimal balance.
Ferrari’s F80 will person a constricted tally of only 799 units that costs much than $3 cardinal and, according to Road & Track, person already been allocated to existent customers.
