Ferrari has patented a peculiar hybrid hydrogen car featuring an upside-down internal combustion engine, which has attracted considerable attention in the automotive sphere.
The unique design stems from practical considerations, particularly regarding fuel tank arrangement.
The proposed setup includes four hydrogen tanks, each capable of withstanding over 10,000 psi, positioned around the engine.
Although gravity poses challenges in conventional oiling systems, Ferrari’s solution incorporates a pressurized dry-sump oiling system.
Additionally, the patent introduces innovative concepts for the transmission and turbochargers, offering intriguing possibilities for future automotive engineering.
