Ferrari boss, Amedeo Felisa recently told reporters that the company was working on a model hybrid technology for V12 engines, but admitted to not close the possibility of V6 models in the near future. In this line, speculation not long in coming against the model “Dino” edition that features a V6 engine midsize sport, strongly rumored while the output of a hybrid Ferrari.
For those who do not know, was a model Ferrari 599 in the Geneva Auto Show 2010 with hybrid system using a V12 engine and a system similar to KERS for Formula 1 V12 engine. Notwithstanding the above, have been discovered recently patent applications by the Italian company for a hybrid system that is far from having a possible KERS, thus favoring a more conventional hybrid system.
Clarity that the KERS system I keep hearing about is just a way to recover kinetic energy, where the majority of hybrid vehicles it uses in some way but not in the same way. KERS recovers this energy through the brakes and put its energy behind the wheel to allow the driver later used as an extra burst of power generated by the engine. Some of its features is without batteries or transistors. Those who have experimented with the system are Volvo, Porsche and Ferrari.
In Ferrari patents recently found, we found a much more conventional hybrid system that said KERS, which lists as an alternative battery and super capacitor as ways of storing energy. This uses two electric motors, where one helps you get the drive and the other is responsible for feeding the air conditioners, power steering, among others. Thus, the second motor allows to fully dispense the power generated by the first motor used entirely for the acceleration.
The important point is that the form patent describes a system configured according to a front-mounted engine 90 degrees. This means that the California model, which has a V12 of 65 degrees, could be modified to fit the new engine would build Ferrari.
