We've been hearing a lot aboutFerrari's Geneva-bound 599 Hybrid concept model for quite some timenow, but the Italian supercar maker apparently can't keep it underwraps anymore as the first photos of the prototype model made it ontothe web today.Photosaside, we asked around and our sources gave us some inside informationon the hybrid system featured on the 'green' 599 concept model.
The system comprises of anelectric motor producing somewhere around 100 horsepower and 137Nm (110lb-ft) of torque that is attached on the back-end of the rear-mountedtransmission, and a battery pack located under the floor.
Theextra power is said to compensate for the added weight which is said tobe close to 100 kilos or about 220 pounds, making the 599 Hybrid fasterthan the stock model.
Lastbut not least, we were told that the hybrid system is still in itsinfancy stage and will most likely take a few years to be offered on aseries production model.
It goes without saying that we'll have all the details on the concept car after its debut in Geneva next week. |
