If necessary, he will be supported in the short term by two electric motors, which make a total of 120 kW. One of these engines deliver its power directly to the double clutch transmission further, the second operates various aggregates, thus relieving the main drive. The time this takes electrical energy is generated during deceleration of the vehicle and in accumulators stored, located low down in the vehicle. The maximum speed is given by Ferrari with "over 350km/h", for a round on the North Loop of the Nürburgring expected the manufacturer a period of less than seven minutes.
