Ferrari is expected that Will Produce Hybrid Version
Ferrari is expected to produce a hybrid version of its 599 GTB at the Geneva Motor Show, which begins in early March 2010. The information was disclosed by the Italian edition Quattroruote. This initiative of the Italian sports car manufacturer is largely in line with similar campaigns in other manufacturers of supercars. Therefore, Ferrari fans have nothing to be disappointed, or at least nothing that surprised.
The car must use a system based on lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor, respectively, are located on both sides of the rear axle. Fuel consumption is expected to reduce by 35% (about 17 l/100 km). Surely integrate various systems that are characterized by a series of recent hybrid models. Consequently, it comes to technology, start / stop system and the kinetic energy recovery (KERS), as well as possibly the option to increase the torque by using electricity from the batteries.
In the first sketch of a Ferrari with a hybrid four-wheel came a few months, and then was told it was a real project. And it seems that in the absence of a sedan in the range of the Italians, then a small family oriented more (so it can be said about the model) with599 GTB V12 engine would be the perfect candidate for a hybrid system.
While it may be an option 612 Scarlatti, but of course, the decisions taken by them to Ferrari.
Ferrari 599 GTO 2011
The long-awaited Ferrari 599 GTO had its official debut today. The company describes it as an “extreme V12 berlinetta developed for a group of performance-oriented customers,” but in addition, the fastest model of the company. Be limited to only 500 units, each with a price in the area of $ 450,000.
The model is a limited edition in the continuing tradition of Ferrari, is a completely new concept, and beyond the 599 GTO is based on the 599XX. The model is a limited edition in the continuing tradition of Ferrari, is a completely new concept, and beyond the 599 GTO is based on the 599XX.
The 599 GTO is the direct beneficiary of technology transfer from Formula 1, and manages to record a lap time of 1 minute 24 seconds on the Giordano track.
This time shift in the Giordano track is just an indication of the potential of this model. As important as it is the specs, 670 hp, 1495 kg in vehicle, representing a ratio of weight / power ratio of just 2.23 kg / hp and ensures a time from 0 to 100 km / h only 3.35 seconds and achieve a top speed of 335 km / h.
Fundamental to the performance of the GTO is the innovative approach to developing the chassis for the first time in a production vehicle; saw the integration of a management overhaul, a response rate that is close to the limit and very sophisticated electronic controls. The result is the almost total absence of overseer and chassis really communicative.
As is the policy of Ferrari, every new Ferrari has new solutions for a street car. Thus, the 599 GTO is equipped with the newest generation of ceramic and carbon brakes, which are lighter and generate better performance. Along with this, will have new aerodynamic innovations, as well as improving brake cooling and Super sport tires developed by Michelin.
Interface driver and the vehicle is also new with the approval of the Virtual Career Engineer (VRE), which gives the driver instant feedback on performance. The more aggressive the 599 GTO is also evident in a number of design elements that recall the 599XX and from the powerful sound of the V12.
The 599 GTO’s engine is derived directly from that present in the 599XX, however, the changes needed to achieve approval. Therefore, complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 standards.
