Ferrari's long-rumoured gas-electric hybrid supercar could well be arriving as early as this coming spring, according to latest reports.
The news comes from Italy's Quattroroute magazine, which claims that Maranello is building a hybrid based on the 588 GTB Fiorano
Sexing-up hybrids
Ferrari's new hybrid car is rumoured to be on show at the Geneva auto show this coming March, with a reported 35 percent overall improvement in fuel economy.
New gas-electric cars from Ferrari can only help to make 'hybrid' motoring tech more aspirational and desirable - which is altogether a good thing.
Autocar also recently reported that Ferrari is planning a hybrid drivetrain for the successor to the 612 Scaglietti, in order to improve handling, and due for launch in 2014.

2. That's so cool that Ferrari will have a hybrid supercar, I wonder if it will still be as fast and powerful!

1. It's about time Ferrari moved toward electrics. Tesla is going to eat their lunch. Here in LA, people are parking their ferraris for the faster, and cheaper, Tesla. Also, it costs a full $8,000 for a tune up on a Ferrari, but the Tesla never needs one. Oh, and it runs on sunlight. Can't do that with the 8 mpg Ferrari.
