The Enzo reimagined.... Jim's Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina

Love the photos

Could the KERS battery packs not be more slim line and cover the floor area under both the driver and passengers feet only need to be a few inches at best that way .... would that not help with cooling and weight distribution ?

 

KERS batteries need a lot of cooling flow through. You need to package them to have as much surface area open to that flow.

 

Flat and thin is the order of the day I suppose. I wonder if battery waste heat is of high enough quality to capture and recycle for more electrical storage. It seems a shame to go to all that trouble to capture the waste kinetic energy just to lose a good bit of it as battery ohmic losses.

Congratulations on the EVO. Lots of hard work rewarded.

 

In the winter we use it to heat the car interior.

 

No more racing then? Shame.

So could you not have inlet from under car then slim batteries then outlet to channel warm air out ? that way you could have slim channels above and below batteries for air to flow though -( BB )-

 

For optimum downforce you wouldn't want to do that.

 

We're talking to three different manufactures to design, build, engineer and race in Grand Am/ALMS in 2014 with them. As GA Prototypes may be invited to Le Mans in 2014-15 that's an interesting idea to persue. We publically challanged Ferrari/McLaren/Porsche to race us with their F70/P1/918 but as that doesn't look likely we will probably pass on the 24 hours of Nurburgring in 2013.

This is almost as nice as my 250 GTO curling iron.

 

How does the KERS generated from heated toast get fed back into the system?

 

Beats me.

 

Must be the marmalade interface.

 

the "toasting level" dial should have more resembled a tach

 

Interesting interview with Jim. To demonstrate the infinite edge with which this car was designed, Jim explains how the exhaust discharge is used for various performance benefits....racing is truly about extracting every known and yet unknown forms of potential.....Mark

Hysterical! And when you get plowed over by a truck or something you can be buried in it because its about as big as a coffin!
