This video claims to feature Ferrari’s 2014 turbocharged V6 F1 engine being tested at the company’s Fiorano circuit. As you’ll hear the oncoming car sounds like it’s sucking up the road before a pleasantly aggressive exhaust note roars as the car whizzes by.
Of course, that sucking sound could be the energy recovery system doing its business. Remember, in 2014 the energy boost available will be much bigger in terms of horsepower and time available for use compared with what we’ve become used to with the old KERS technology.
Now, that car; it looks a bit like a LaFerrari, but that large overhead air intake does seem a little out of place. And a tweet from Ferrari does indicate that they may have been doing something F1 related at Fiorano in recent days.
