Ferrari's F80 uses “boost optimization” to give the driver more power where he needs it

Ferrari's new F80 hypercar can record the track it is driving on, giving the driver energy at the right time on the next lap. The “Boost Optimization” function recognizes the straights and curves of the racetrack and delivers more power to the hybrid system without any further action from the driver in order to achieve the best possible lap time.

You can use Boost Optimization in “Performance” mode to maintain a constant amount of electric power throughout the ride for as long as possible, or you can select “Qualify” mode to optimize boost performance right times to maximize battery power quickly at the expense of loss. Unlike Ferrari's SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB, there is no fully electric driving mode.

The F80 has all-wheel drive with a V6 rear engine that produces 900 hp and, combined with its three electric motors, achieves a maximum output of 1200 hp. Ferrari states that this makes the F80 the “most powerful road car of all time.” The electric motors are the first to be fully developed and built by the automaker and are based on the design of the MGU-K engine used in Formula 1.

In addition to an inverter and an integrated cooling system, there are two electric motors on the front axle that enable torque vectoring and weight reduction. A DC-DC converter that outputs 800, 48 and 12 volts helps save weight as the F80 does not require a separate 48-volt battery to power its active suspension and e-turbo systems.

The F80 also features a “Digital Twin” side-slip control system and active aerodynamics that can increase downforce when cornering to maintain optimal balance.

Ferrari's F80 will have a limited run of just 799 units, which will cost more than $3 million Road and railwere already assigned to existing customers.
