Ferrari 599 hybrid at Geneva show
posted: Tuesday 02 February 2010 by Alison in: Misc
Ferrari’s first hybrid technology will debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in the form of the Ferrari 599 hybrid. The confirmation comes from Luca de Montezemolo after the new Ferrari F1 car presentation in Maranello.
Original designs indicated that Ferrari would be developing a four-wheel-drive model, and since then subsequent reports have suggested that the drivetrain would be comprised of electric motors at the front wheels and a V12 or turbocharged V8 powering the rear wheels.
A hybrid vehicle would be the first real step in producing an ecological model at Ferrari, and reports say that a 35 percent saving in the fuel consumption of the 599 could be achieved. The hybrid technology has been developed from Ferrari’s Formula One KERS technology: or Kinetic Energy Recovery System.
