Ferrari 599 Hybrid Images Leaked Ahead of Geneva 2010

As one of the more hotly anticipated vehicles of the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari 599 Hybrid is on the list of cars people just can’t wait to see. Despite Ferrari’s efforts to keep its show car away from prying eyes before its official debut, intrepid auto buffs have managed to snag the first series of images of the hybridized supercar, presumably from the actual Geneva show stand.

So the could be seen as somewhat eco-friendly, Ferrari has given it a vibrant shade of green. The 599 Hybrid looks virtually identical to the standard production version. The difference can be seen underneath, where you’ll see the high-voltage setup that stores braking energy for an extra boost of power via a push of the steering-wheel mounted button. The setup mimics the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) used in Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars during the 2009 season.
