The battery, weighing 630kg, is designed and built in Maranello and integrated into the car\u2019s floorpan. Designed with Korean battery company SK On, it consists of 210 cells connected in series, arranged 14 per module, with 15 modules in the pack \u2013 one centrally at the front behind the front axle, then mounted two by two to the rear, where the last four are stacked two-high, beneath the rear seats.<\/p>\n
They have a peak discharge rate of 830kW and a total capacity of 122kWh at 800V, with a usable capacity of around 11kWh. The Luce\u2019s peak charge speed is claimed to be 350kW, although Ferrari says it will take 70kWh in 20 minutes, meaning\u00a0a sustained rate over that time of 210kW.<\/p>\n
The battery pack is designed and built in Maranello so that Ferrari \u2013 which says 90% of all of its cars are still on the road \u2013 can place new battery tech into its own pack design should it need to, even decades down the road – in a similar way to how it\u2019s offering F80-derived packs for LaFerrari batteries now.<\/p>\n
Dynamics<\/p>\n
While the Luce weighs 2260kg, it has a centre of gravity that\u2019s 95mm lower than a Purosangue\u2019s and a yaw moment of inertia that\u2019s 15% smaller. Weight distribution is 47:53\u00a0front to rear.<\/p>\n
It has the largest wheels yet fitted to a Ferrari, with 23in, 9.5J front and 24in,\u00a011J rear wheels, in two different styles \u2013 lighter five-spoke alloys or a more aerodynamically efficient turbine design, which gives maximum range.<\/p>\n
Between them, suppliers Pirelli, Michelin and Bridgestone offer two normal tyres, two winter tyres and a run-flat option.<\/p>\n
Ferrari\u2019s chief product development officer, Gianmaria Fulgenzi, said the Luce will be \u201cthe most comfortable Ferrari ever produced\u201d. The suspension is by double wishbones at the front and rear\u00a0and employs an evolution of the 48V Multimatic TrueActive spool-valve dampers first used on the Purosangue, which negate the need for conventional anti-roll bars. Here, though, their internal ball screw pitch is increased by 20%, which better absorbs vertical impacts, and they\u2019re 0.5kg lighter at each corner. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The battery, weighing 630kg, is designed and built in Maranello and integrated into the car\u2019s floorpan.
