Welcome back people, today we have
The Experimental HY-KERS Hybrid vehicle. This car is amazing!.
Geneva, 2 March - The HY-KERS
vettura laboratorio (experimental
vehicle) is an example of how Ferrari is approaching the development of
hybrid technology without losing sight of the performance traits and
driving involvement that have always exemplified its cars. This hybrid project is also aimed at ensuring that Ferrari will be in a
position to comply with future CO2 emissions standards, particularly in
terms of the urban cycle, as we know the urban cycle involves low revs and low engine loads, when sports cars are designed for maximum efficiency and performance at high revs. Ferrari has applied its F1 technology to the design and a new kind of electric motor which helps optimize the longitudinal and
lateral dynamics of the car, enhancing traction and brake balance. Weighing about 40 kg, the compact, tri-phase, high-voltage electric
motor of the HY-KERS is coupled to the rear of the dual-clutch 7-speed
F1 transmission. It operates through one of the transmission’s two
clutches and engages one of the two gearbox primary shafts. Under braking the electric drive unit acts as a generator, using the
kinetic energy from the negative torque generated to recharge the
batteries, it is controlled by a dedicated electronics module which was developed applying experience gained in F1. This experimental vehicle thus maintains the high-performance
characteristics typical of all Ferraris while, at the same time,
reducing CO2 emissions on the ECE + EUDC combined cycle by 35 per cent. This is pretty much it, but I wanted to tell you one more thing. The other important novelty at the Geneva Show is again aimed at
reducing emissions. From March 2010 in fact the Stop & Start system
will be available on the Ferrari California, reducing fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions by 6 per cent in the ECE + EUDC combined cycle.This solution is a further step in Ferrari’s on-going strategy to reduce
fuel consumption and emissions, even when increasing performance. If you wanna find out more, here is the website: http://www.ferrari.com/english/gt_sport%20cars/sport-prototypes/Pages/sport_prototypes.aspx. Hope you enjoyed, bye.

Unfortunately I don't have any video so we can't see it in action. Sorry.
