Ferraris have been synonymous with the color red for so long that the company may be taking the association with hues a bit literally. The 599 HY-KERS concept is the company’s first take on a hybrid car, and likely the first one you’ve ever seen painted green.
Using a variation of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) developed for its F1 cars, a battery-powered electric motor offers up a 100 hp boost to the V12 gasoline engine when needed, and can even propel the car on it’s own, turning it into the first ever 100 hp Ferrari – at least for short trips.
