Over the past few years, there have been talks and speculations about Ferrari developing a new hybrid, which goes against their  typical super car petroleum guzzling models.  Well this past March, during the Annual Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland,  rumors and speculations turned into facts and awes as Ferrari revealed to the world their new Petrol-electric 599 Hybrid. Ferrari shocked the automotive industry by going against their normal convention.  To add to their green initiative, they’ve decided to go the extra mile by deterring from their normal body colors… by going all Green!

The Ferrari 599 is a 200mph electric hybrid beast that aims to reduce it’s carbon footprint with lower fuel consumption. Moreover,  it also aims to retain the Ferrari brand with phenomenal acceleration and performance, achieving 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with it’s V12 6.0 Litre engine!  It possesses three modes of engine power: zero-emissions electric power for reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, petroleum power where the engine uses petroleum to accentuate the power and performance that all Ferrari enthusiasts have grown to love, and mix of electric and petrol power where CO2 is reduced but fuel consumption is boosted.  DailyMail.co.uk has a great diagram  of the Hybrid 599, which shows the internal components and some great facts about this new green supercar.

As groundbreaking as this new prototype is, there still is some negative feedback developing.  For instance, will the silent ignition turn off car enthusiasts who take pride in the loud and explosive roar that the old styles of Ferraris uptake?  How much of an impact will this technology make on the price of the car?  Majority of these questions are answered in DailyMail.co.uk’s article which can be found here.
