New Jersey Ferrari dealer excited about developing Ferrari hybrids

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Ferrari lovers who also like to help the environment will be happy to learn that the car company has recently revealed the 599 GTB Fiorano Hybrid prototype at the Geneva Motor Show. Sales representatives at your Ferrari dealer in New Jersey are especially excited to see hybrid versions of every Ferrari model within the next three years, as Ferrari’s chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced plans of production when the prototype was unveiled. New Jersey Ferrari shoppers may want to wait for the hybrid models to hit the U.S. consumer market to test drive the power of a green Ferrari.

The hybrid powertrain that Ferrari plans to equip in the new hybrid models will be called “Hykers” – the “Hy” short for Hybrid and the “kers” referring to the Kinetic Energy Recuperation System that the car company used during the 2000 Formula One racing season. Some New Jersey Ferrari owners may be hesitant to support the idea of a Ferrari hybrid, considering that the company is known for producing performance models which are not known to coincide with fuel efficiency. Nevertheless, the Ferrari team is looking forward to offer consumers a whole new line of vehicles.

The 599 GTB will be equipped with 6.0L V12 engine that produces 611 horsepower. To back up this power, Ferrari engineers have installed an electric motor that produces over 100 horsepower located at the back of a dual-clutch seven-speed F1 transmission, in addition to a set of flat lithium-ion batteries.
