HYBRID ERA EVOLUTION
REAPING ENERGY FROM MOTION AND EXHAUST IN THE MOST EFFICIENT INTERNAL COMBUSTION MOTOR IN HUMAN HISTORY.
Overview
In 2014, the screaming, naturally aspirated V8 motors were mothballed. In their place came a highly complex, deeply misunderstood masterpieces of thermodynamic engineering.
THE MGU-K: KINETIC RECOVERY
The Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K) is directly coupled to the crankshaft.
THE MGU-H: THE TURBOCHARGER SYNERGY
The holy grail of thermodynamic recovery is the Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H).
THERMAL FLUID MECHANICS AND LEAN BURN
To squeeze fuel down to the absolute 100 kg/h flow limit, engineers engineered high-pressure pre-chamber ignition systems.
