Ferrari’s F80 uses ‘Boost optimization’ to give drivers more power where they need it


Meet the successor to the LaFerrari.

The “Boost Optimization” feature reads the straights and curves of the circuit and, with no further action from the driver, delivers more power to its hybrid system to help achieve the best lap time possible. A DC-to-DC converter that outputs 800, 48, and 12 volts helps it save weight since the F80 doesn’t need 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 aero that can increase downforce while cornering to maintain optimal balance.
