The new HY-KERS connects a V-12 engine and electric motor to a dual-clutch transmission. A second, non-powertrain electric motor is used for powering auxiliary electronics like power steering and air conditioning. Both motors receive power from a battery pack that can be mounted in a variety of ways, to be determined by the car's final layout.
Ferrari says that the hybrid system carries the dual function of increasing power and decreasing emissions. It hasn't provided any output numbers, but rumors have it that the system will add up to 120 extra horses over the V-12's ~ 800 hp. When accelerating, the main electric motor delivers extra power through the dual-clutch gearbox. When the driver hits the brakes, the motor turns into a generator, transforming brake energy into electricity to recharge the batteries.
