Development of the lithium-ion energy storage system began in 2016 and was inspired by technologies that have proven themselves in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s Formula 1 hybrid racing cars. Electric power always available. In its basic configuration, the performance hybrid is rear-wheel drive. E PERFORMANCE with 2.0L

Power delivery and torque build-up occur very spontaneously and without delay: as in Formula 1, the electric support of the exhaust gas turbocharger eliminates the turbo lag of the combustion engine, while at the same time the electric drive pushes powerfully from a standstill. Operating strategy: electric power always available.

Further extensive lightweight design measures have resulted in such features as titanium connecting rods, thin-wall, low-pressure casting on the crank case and the cylinder heads, a high-strength, lightweight steel crankshaft with 180 degrees crankpin offset and the extremely thin-walled alloy steel/nickel exhaust system.

Development of this lithium-ion battery was inspired by technologies that have already proven themselves under the conditions in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team's Formula 1 hybrid racing cars. Operating strategy: electrical power always available. The control of vehicle dynamics also benefits from the hybrid drive.

Even when braking at high speed, the braking phases of an LMP1 race car last only three to five seconds. Because of the 300 kW limit at Le Mans, the energy from the hybrid system will be available for a longer period of time. The high system output helps efficiently recover the required energy.
