The new Enzo is in the making and Ferrari is finally willing to reveal one by one the new features that will make this car as stunning as its predecessor. The carmaker has decided to feed our curiosity by releasing some pictures of the engine bay. If you didn’t know, the new Enzo is also known as the F150 and is going to be based on a drivetrain that Ferrari has chosen to call “HY-KERSâ€. That’s because this is the first hybrid drivetrain of the carmaker that has always impressed us with powerful engines. This time the key to success is based on a V12 petrol engine that the carmaker has decided to pair with an electric motor that will be placed in the rear area. The result should be ready for the Beijing Motor Show that’s scheduled to take place in April.
The pictures of the engine bay were published in the Official Ferrari Magazine and were taken so that they reveal the mounting of the main control unit on the gearbox. Also noticeable are some orange wires that lead to the necessary lithium-ion battery pack and a pair of blue wires that are responsible for linking the main components. Unfortunately the picture is not accompanied by any power figures officially released by Ferrari. It’s only known that the new system is expected to add 1.34bhp along with each kilogram of extra weight. Moreover, the CO2 emissions will be reduced by the new engine bay by an impressive 40 percent. In addition, rumours say that the new model with HY-KERS system will be 10 percent more performance than the current V12 Enzo model that can be found on the market. Considering that this current model is able to develop 730bhp, it’s expected for its successor to have no problem delivering more than 800bhp.
Other details about the upcoming Enzo are hard to notice in the picture provided. However, if you look closely you will notice the use of quad exhausts and tilted radiators. Also important to mention is that by replacing the traditional starter motor with an electric motor, Ferrari has also managed to reduce the weight of the car.
