IndyCar’s new era combines the current 2.2-liter twin-turbocharged V6 internal combustion engine with supercapacitor hybrid technology that features a low-voltage (48V) motor generator unit (MGU) with an energy storage system (ESS). Together with push-to-pass, there is over 800 horsepower available for the driver.
