New Formula hybrid competition set for 2007

Formula One is already set for some drastic changes regarding its engine technology as outlined in our earlier post. The latest rumour is that one day the high-revving, naturally aspirated V8s will be replaced by either fuel cell or hybrid powerplants. We’ve already had comments from FIA president Max Moseley expressing his interest towards the green technology.

A further sign of things to come is the announcement that two automotive tech companies, N.Technology S.p.a. and Tatuus s.r.l., are planning a partnership to develop the world’s first hybrid F1 car to compete in an all new competition starting in 2007.

The hybrid concept will be a single-seater open wheel racer powered by a 2.0-litre four cylinder mill aided by an electric motor and develops 250bhp.
