Ferrari 599 Hybrid - Click above for image gallery
With just a few days separating us from the
Geneva Motor Show, the list of surprises continues to dwindle. The latest victim is the much-anticipated
Ferrari 599 Hybrid which the automaker
has confirmed will appear in Switzerland next week.
The shots appear to have been taken from the show stand, so there's no hard information to go off of yet. What we do know is that
Ferrari will employ a version of its Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) that originally debuted during the 2009 Formula 1 season on the
599. The system captures energy normally lost to the flywheel under braking, sending a boost of energy to the wheels when the driver hits a steering wheel-mounted button. Judging by the size of the battery pack, it's doubtful that the 599 will be able to operate on electric power alone. We'll find out soon enough, but until then, check out Ferrari's green beastie in the gallery below.
Top tip John.
