With a history of gasoline, diesel, hybrid and now even full electric vehicles, the German technological powerhouse is making an effort to use a different kind
of Kinetic Energy Recovery System to harness all the countless hours of energy people expend on the internet.
However, the introduction
of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) in 2009, which captured waste energy created under braking and transformed it into electrical energy, ensured the teams had an extra 80bhp or so to play with for just over six seconds a lap.
However, for all of the new gameplay elements; there is a major problem returning from F1 2016 in the form of the Energy Recovery System (ERS) being nowhere to be seen which is rather odd as it is essentially an updated version
of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) which featured in previous F1 games by Codemasters.
Not exact matches
An incredible 1 megawatt
of power (1341bhp) is produced and a weight
of just 600 kg, with
Kinetic Energy Recovery System power set to 500kW (a huge improvement compared to the 120kW for 2017).
The problem is that the
kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) introduces a new set
of risks to the sport, raising the possibility
of battery fires, electrocution and...
The re-tuned V - 6 turbodiesel engine drives power to the rear wheels, and the same electric
energy recovery system will be at work on the front axle, maximizing the amount
of kinetic energy stored from braking.
Active LED exterior lights, carbon ceramic brakes with a
kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and rear view cameras in place
of conventional mirrors also underline the mould - breaking nature
of this luxury GT concept.

The Flybrid
kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) incorporates Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) technology sourced from the partnership
of Torotrak Plc and Xtrac.
The hybrid transaxle also allows for the
recovery of kinetic energy through the hybrid's regenerative braking
system.
Applied to road cars the
system supports the current motor industry trend for smaller powertrains; a lightweight
kinetic energy recovery system providing a means
of boosting acceleration and overall performance and economy independently
of the vehicle's internal combustion engine.
The UK's Technology Strategy Board has awarded Torotrak, in collaboration with lead technology partner Lotus Cars, a grant to develop a new application
of the Flybrid KERS (
kinetic energy recovery system) technology for integration into a manual gearbox.
The engine will also feature a
kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) that's typically found on Formula One cars, one that will tack on an extra 80 - horsepower
of boost, allowing the AM - RB 001 to generate short bursts
of full electric mobility.
Renault has applied the state -
of - the - art
kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) used in its Formula One drivelines to the pint - sized Twizy electric car.
Coupled with some form
of energy recapture like a hybrid drive with regenerative braking or a
kinetic energy recovery system, the vehicle might approach the efficiency that some
of today's EVs offer without any range limitations.

energy produced from braking to give you a Horsepower boost at the touch
of the button, albeit a for a limited amount
of usage per lap.
The
kinetic energy recovery system, or KERS, output would be increased to a total
of 500 kW, up from 120 kW in today's cars.
