Company Ferrari has sent the demand for reception of the patent for an all-wheel drive hybrid platform which can be used on cars with front or среднемоторной configuration. As writes British magazine Autocar, all Ferrari has developed six layout schemes for the installation.
Project Ferrari assumes, that the electromotors eating from batteries, will actuate wheels only one of axes, and other two wheels will be rotated by an internal combustion engine. Under plans of the Italian engineers, the moment from electromotors to wheels can be brought or by means of traditional differentials, or for these purposes two compact electric motors, placed in wheels will be used.
It is supposed, that in a usual situation "hybrid" will remain rear-wheel, and the moment on four wheels will move only on slippery coverings - such design will turn out easier and more compactly, than traditional all-wheel drive transmissions. Besides, at "hybrids" Ferrari will be two operating modes - "city" when the car gets under way and on small speeds (for example, in stoppers) moves exclusively at the expense of electrodraught, and "racing" in which the powerful petrol motor will be used, and the moment will be transferred only to back wheels.
At last, cars Ferrari in the future should receive system "stop start" which suppresses the engine at a stop on a traffic light or in a stopper.
Exact date of occurrence of first hybrid car Ferrari with a full drive yet is not called.
Well written article, and I agree entirely. Thank you for your fresh point of view. Keep up the good work.
