The LAFERRARI Successor is Here: Look at the 1,183BHP, V6 Hybrid Ferrari F80

Posted on by

The F80 not short of puff has ability to bring racetracks to their knees, Ferrari is adamant this is not a track toy with numberplates

“Our philosophy is that even most extreme and special cars have to experienced beyond the race track and not be kept in garage”

288 GTO F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari and F80 Ferrari bosses ignored Top Gear hypercar name generator and went with something sensible.

The rationale is visible this 120 degree 3 litre V6 is heavily modified version of the one took the 499P to back to back wins at the Le Mans 24hrs.

 It is more compact power dense and lighter than V12 and thanks to couple of e turbos produces 888bhp on its own that 234bhp over 296 GTB, V6 despite weighing the same.
other 295bhp total of 1,183bhp making it Ferrari road car ever comes from trio of electric motors designed engineered and built in house.
The 800V battery is 2.3KWh unit behind seats infused with F1 tech for charging and discharging there is no electric only mode.
Whilst gawpling at the rolling chassis we counte no less than 13 e motors two more on 48V e turbos one at each corner for 48v active suspension and four more 12V units in wing to enable all lift and tilt.

The performance is strong 0-62mph in 2.15 seconds, 0-124mph in 5.75 seconds and top speed of 217mph.
The raw numbers are good 1,050 kg of downforce at 155mph but it gets there that the fun pat.
The underbody is laced with bargeboards at front a deployable flap under the front splitter to stall the air and reduce drag when required and whacking great diffuser at the rear that starts rising around the car midriff.
On top the familiar S duck sucks air from under car up and over it while rear wing can climb up by 200mm and tilt to act as air brake or lie down for low drag.
The result is ground effect car with 460 kg of downforce delivered by front end and 590kg at rear.
The carbon tub is asymmetric to enable passenger seat to be little further back a requirement to keep it narrow and with feet lifted so the aero can do its things underneath.
Tub five per cent lighter than the LaFerrari with 50 per cent more torsional rigidity.
4WD F80 weights 1,525kg dry, 125 Kg over the RWD McLaren W1.
Active suspension system not only mitigates squat dive and roll but keep a ride height so underbody can do its thing.
The gearbox is eight speed DCT the wheels are the first five spoke carbon rims Ferrari had mad and tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 or Pilot Sport Cup2Rs.
The F80 striking angle is dead front. From there you note the car nostril two intakes that channel air through the front subframe extrusions to cool the Brembo CCM-R Plus brakes.

Nasa Launches probe towards jupiter and its moon Europa to assess habitability

Posted on by

One day after launching a Starship rocket on test fight in Texas SpaceX fired off Falcon Heavy rocket from Florida Monday sending a $5.2 billion NASA probe on 1.8 billion mile voyage to jupiter to find out if one of moons host a habitable sub surface ocean.

The Europa Clipper will brake into orbit around Jupiter in April 2030 setting up 49 close flybys of the moon Europa an ice covered region with inside warmed by retenless squeezing of Jupiter gravity as it swings the giant planet in elliptical orbit.

Data from past mission and long range studies from Earth show a salt water ocean lurks beneath moon frozen crust providing a habitable environment.

Microbial life exist in ocean is unknown but Europa Clipper tools will try to find out if it is least possible.

“We want to determine whether Europa has potential to support simple life in deep ocean, beneath its icy layer” “We want to understand whether Europa has key ingredient to support life in its ocean the right chemical elements and energy source for life”

Project Scientist Robert Pappalardo said

“Europa is ice covered moon of Jupiter about the size of Earth moon but believed to have global subsurface ocean that contains more than twice the water of all of Earth oceans combined”

Europa Clipper Launch

To get to jupiter the clipper will first fly past Mars on March 1 using red planet gravity too its speed and bend trajectory to send the probe back toward Earth for another gravity assist flyby in December 2026.

The probe will brake into orbit around Jupiter on April 11,2030 using the gravity of moon Ganymede to slow down before a six to seven hour firing of probe thrusters.

The first of 49 planned flybys of Europa low as 16 miles above surface will start in early 2031.

The mission is expected to last at least three years with chance of extension depending on spacecraft health.

The Clipper will end its voyage with kamikaze descent to Jupiter moon Ganymede to prevent any chance of future uncontrolled crash on Europa that might bring microbes to moon and its habitable sub surface environment.

The Clipper was designed to withstand doses of radiation while making close flybys of Europa housing its flight computer and sensitive gear inside a vault shielded by sheets of aluminium zinc alloy.

Engineers held review to decide how that might affect Clipper and finally concluded the spacecraft could minimize radiation induced degradation by changing the way the flybys are executed.

The only change was to delay launch for years to replace components.

Engineers were dismayed to discover earlier that electrical components used throughout spacecraft failed lower levels of radiation than expected.

“The distance of Jupiter is five times farther from sun than the  Earth is That means it is very cold out there and there only faint sunlight to power the solar arrays so they are huge”

Once deployed the 13.5 foot wide solar arrays will stretch more than 100 feet from end to end more than length of basketball court with two radar antennas extending 58 feet from each array.

NASA planned to launch clipper past week but mission managers ordered a delay to avoid Hurricane Milton which swept across Cape Canaveral on Thursday.

One day slip was ordered to resolve a technical issue and while details were not provided the rocket was cleared for launch.

Right one time the triple core falcon Heavy 27 first engines ignited and throttled up at 12:6pm EDT pushing the towering rocket away from pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center with over 5 million pounds of thrust.

Falcon Heavy is giving Europa Clipper its all sending the spacecraft to farthest destination we have ever sent which mean mission requires maximum performance.

“I do not know about you guys but I can not think of better mission to sacrifice booster for where we might have chance to discover life in own solar system”

Missian scientists were attempt to get long mission underway.

“What would be greatest outocme?

“In future may be NASA could send a lander to scoop down below surface and literally search for signs of life”

Pappalardo said.
