Ferrari 4x4 testing: future Ferrari 4WD shooting brake
Ferrari is testing four-wheel drive technology in Argentina, according to reports, and this spy shot is apparently of a Ferrari 4×4 test mule. The models out testing are 612 Scaglietti vehicles fitted with all-wheel drive technology which are getting their wheels dirty in the mud and snow of the Tierra del Fuego.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti replacement however, will have hybrid technology and will probably not be kitted out with 4×4 which means this will be dedicated to another car altogether. The same Scaglietti models in the past have been used for the 4×4 tests, but according to rumours, soon there will be a future Ferrari shooting brake with 4WD technology that can be employed up to speeds of 140 km/hr. It’s spicy stuff but we’ll have to wait and see.

Hybrid Ferrari to appear at Los Angeles auto show
With Ferrari’s hybrid plans now made public, we could be seeing the first attempt at a hybrid Ferrari earlier than previously imagined. In an interview with Car and Driver, Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa said that a Ferrari hybrid concept would soon be presented, most likely at an upcoming US auto show.
Felisa revealed that the Frankfurt show in September is too early, but said that the concept would appear soon after, at a US show, making the November event in Los Angeles a possibility. The hybrid platform is still unknown, but the Ferrari patents recently leaked show an all wheel drive model with possible start-and-stop technology.

All wheel drive Ferrari hybrid technology
If you’re a dedicated Ferrari fan you might be wondering what’s happening at a company so steeped in powerful supercar tradition that it’s hard to imagine it would ever dabble in modern ecological technology. But leaked drawings reveal that Ferrari is developing hybrid plans.
The designs show an electric motor powering two wheels with a combustion engine powering the remaining wheels, or two electric motors placed inside the wheels themselves, combined with the same previous combustion engine system.
Ferrari is arguing that it’s hybrid technology will be used not to increase fuel efficiency necessarily, but to create an effective all wheel drive vehicle with refined handling.
