Ferrari對於M-AMG Project One的看法 - 歐洲車

from http://www.motor1.com/news/139103/ferrari-downplays-mercedes-project-one/

Ferrari技術總監Michael Leiters接受訪問時表示：

「我們法拉利早就把F1引擎塞進車子裡拿出來賣了！」

1995年，Ferrari發表F50，車上搭載從1990年F1賽車修改而來的4.7L V12。

雖說如此，Michael Leiters還是不認為把F1引擎直接拿出來賣是個好選擇。

他認為應該利用F1的概念及創新打造新世代超跑，而不是單純的落引擎。



Mercedes-AMG's forthcoming Project One hypercar uses Formula-One-derived
tech to make over 1,000 horsepower (746 kilowatts) from a hybridized and
turbocharged 1.6-liter engine revving at over 10,000 rpm. Ferrari's chief
technical officer isn't impressed, though. He doesn't see the point of
bringing F1 systems to the road.

“Putting an F1 engine into a road car? We already did it with the F50 and I'
m not convinced it works,” Ferrari CTO Michael Leiters told Australia's
Motoring. “Instead of actual F1 engine, I'm convinced it's better to take
some concepts and innovations from a Formula 1 car… To make a supercar, I
prefer to do it from scratch.”

When Ferrari launched the F50 in 1995, it used a 4.7-liter naturally
aspirated V12 that derived from the powerplant in Prancing Horse's 1990 F1
car. The mill made 520 horsepower and could rev to 10,000 rpm. Despite the
impressive numbers, the F50 has attained the iconic status of its predecessor
– the F40.
