The brake energy recovery system you referred to is whats used in the current E9x ///M3 which detects when the vehicle is using the brakes and thus maximizes alternator charging because the engines maximum power is not required and this serves to charge the car's battery without tapping on engine power and, accordingly on the energy contained in the fuel burnt I envision BMW following their Formula one route because they already have experience with it in racing. I think its very cool and has very exciting possibilities, It would be great if the KERS system will used when the V8TT is off booste and thus you would virtually eliminate lag. Question is how seemless will the electric power come in.... |
