It’s the work of the Ferrari Centro Stile under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, and takes its inspiration directly from the 1960s and 70s’ 330 P3 and 512 S Ferrari Sports Prototypes, which competed in endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans turbo V6 architecture adopted on the 296 GTB, 296 GTS and 296 GT3. This motor also motivates the firm’s new Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hyper car.
Constantly balancing the state of charge of the battery allows the driver to make full use of the combined power available from the ICE and electric motors, so that maximum performance is available both during qualifying laps as well as over consecutive racing laps.
