Must-See Cars at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show

The Swiss know how to make a splash.


Ferrari 599 HY-KERS

What it is: An experimental hybrid version of Ferrari's 599 GTB Fiorano. A hybrid...Ferrari? Yes, a hybrid Ferrari.

Cool features: The electric motor, weighing only 88 lbs., adds more than 100 hp and uses Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) inspired by their F1 racing experience to recapture braking energy. Overall CO2 emissions are reduced by an impressive 35%. The batteries are mounted below the floor pan, preserving both interior/luggage space and the Ferrari's weight distribution--even lowering the 599's center of gravity. That matte green paint is pretty cool, too.

Bottom line: The 599 HY-KERS is a look into what may be the future for every new Ferrari model. Offering better efficiency, HY-KERS helps Ferrari meet ever-tightening emissions standards. It also offers added performance, thus helping buyers get excited about a hybrid Ferrari.
