The Electrification of Supercars! (Ferrari 296GTB)

[@mahadevovnl]

It's still fascinating to me that these manufacturers are switching away from real buttons and knobs and dials and go for touch screen interfaces. I haven't met anyone who actually likes it. Reviewers certainly don't. None of them go: "Wow, a real button? I wish it was a touch screen instead!" - it's just... dumb cost-cutting.

​​@@banme2784t's not about getting used to it, being young, or being technologically adept. It's about safety. This is the one thing that almost all the car reviewers agree on: touchscreen controls for climate control and other frequently used features are just more dangerous. You simply cannot "feel" where the knob or button is and operate it and still keep your eyes on the road. Every single second that your eyes are off the road is dangerous.

[@AlexPotvin]

Hey, no Ferrari fan here but you sure the beeping at the start isn't the seat belt warning? You're supposed to put it on before you start the car, so most cars bong unless you have it on before you start. Some have software hacks to get around that (OBD II stuff) but it's not necessarily across the board. The bongs in this seem irritating so the complaint is warranted on that part, but ultimately you're probably hearing bongs because you're not following what should've been your entry level driving class instructions: get everything setup before you start the ignition.

Well, Harley-Davidson already has multiple electric offerings. Honda, Ducati, BMW, Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc. all then either already have electric models as well or have them planned & on the way in the next couple years. So you’re kinda asking for something that’s very much already a thing. More people just need to choose to buy them now (just like electric cars.)

@@___echo___ Before I give my idea about the mechanical reasons, I'll note that every automotive journalist has said this time and time again for every one of these hybrid supercars, they have no steering feel, perhaps with the exception of the holy trinity. But yes to the SF90, the Artura, the NSX, and the 296GTB. I think the reason is that the electric motors are connected to the front wheels, one motor to each wheel so that torque vectoring is possible. The problem with doing this is that if you tuned the steering rack to be responsive you'd feel the wheel yanking itself out of your hands every time the torque vectoring engaged while going around a corner, so they have to essentially have the steering be overly boosted to the point where it's completely numb and doesn't react to what the front wheels are actually doing, in the same way that a stick on a game controller doesn't react to what your character in the game, there's no feedback.

The way Ferrari has done the electric motor in this car and the hybrid system is exactly the way motor enthusiasts want.

Obviously there’s nothing practical about THIS hybrid, since it’s a Ferrari and they don’t make practical anything… but it’s the same idea. We need more cars like that. This car looks awesome. I wouldn’t buy one (if I could, I mean, because I can’t) mainly because I’d be afraid to park it anywhere but also because those stupid capacitive buttons are so much less safe and more obnoxious.

It's almost weird seeing Marques with a car with a combustion engine

[@carholic-sz3qv]

Lol….

I’ll like him to review the mighty Mercedes’ UNIMOG

[@dj_gzero]

Marques forgot one extra feature!! If you check the drivers side door slot, you’ll find an official Ferrari Cease and Desist letter!!!

True, the Tesla is an insane drag race car and not as agile on a track like Willow Springs or Laguna Seca, but it not designed to be. Like you said, it's a 4 door sedan designed as a family car for daily driving. And it's amazing that it can keep up with full-on sports cars at all. The Tesla Plaid did amazing at the Nurbergring and at Willow Springs for such a heavy sedan. Let's see how the Tesla Roadster does next year.

Me when I heard about the tiny range of the electric motor: "What the hell is that even for?!" Me after I hear MKB explain the residential pull in/out reason: "Alright cool. I hate those loud ass engine noises, so this is a wonderful compromise, but I really hope people use it for that, because if it's not used, then it's pointless"

Actually, the point is that it gives you the instant high torque off the line that a gas engine can't produce until its revs get up into its power band. Without that innovation, even the most powerful sportscar would get embarrassed by an ordinary Tesla.
