Although Ferrari said that electric models will not appear until after 2025, it seems that Ferrari is accelerating the electrification layout. Ferrari Chairman John Elken recently told shareholders that Ferrari's first electric car will be available in 2025.
A few days ago, overseas media insideevs exposed a set of patent diagrams of Ferrari's first pure electric sports car. The patent demonstrates Ferrari's chassis design concept capable of supporting hybrid or electric sports cars, with the internal combustion engine still mounted on the front or rear of the car's batteries.
Specifically, the design also provides power output for hybrid models, with all battery packs mounted on the subframe, and downforce to improve vehicle performance while also providing heat dissipation for the battery packs.
From the picture, BT1 refers to the first battery pack and BT2 is the second battery pack. The first battery pack is under the passenger compartment, which is wide but thin, making room for passengers. Behind the passengers, the second battery pack has plenty of room to increase the height.
In summary, the idea of the patent is to create a frame that supports the vehicle and attach it to a base that houses the battery. These parts are fixed together to form a complete structure that makes up the floor of the car.
Specific to the sports car information, the car will use a mid-battery layout, which can improve the vehicle handling performance. Moreover, the battery pack design in the center of the vehicle can better improve the stability and handling of the body, and there will be some small-capacity battery cells under the battery pack.
It is reported that the car is expected to use a circular battery pack, while the prismatic and soft pack batteries can also be used.
