Oh yes, a hybrid Ferrari as early as next year!
Well, who woulda ever thunk it! Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine, that a Ferrari would ever come in a hybrid? It's been a rumor for quite a while but now the gas electric prowler might make an appearance as early as spring of next year.
Word on the street is that Maranello is building a hybrid based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, that uses a variation of the kinetic energy recovery system in its Formula 1 cars.
Foreign car insiders are speculating, that folks might be able to feast their eyes on the concept car at next year's Geneva Auto show which begins in March.
According to published reports, the vehicle uses a V12 engine up front with an electric motor at the rear transaxle and a lithium-ion battery. Not only will the vehicle have more bite, but the system will provide it with a start-stop function and regenerative braking, allowing it to offer a 35 percent better fuel economy.
Britain’s Autocar reported last month, that Ferrari has a hybrid drivetrain slated for the successor to the 612 Scaglietti and that we should actually see it in 2014.
