 One clear sign that the search for alternatives to oil has reached a fever pitch is when Ferrari, one of the world's most renowned sports car manufacturers, announces its intention to build vehicles powered by biofuels and electricity, as well as hybrid drivetrains. Ferrari, of course, isn't doing this out of the goodness of its heart: it has to meet more stringent European emissions standards and the company has set a goal of reducing "CO2 emissions by 40 percent between now and 2012."
Weehoo!
I have always wanted a red Ferrari Spyder. They are small, I don't need the speed I just like the look. Though I am sure it will be over $100K if it goes hybrid.
According to Andrew Posner who writes for Treehugger.com, "from Ferrari to Ford to Toyota, are looking to get around the high cost and environmental/geopolitical stigma of oil."Labels: Ferrari, hybrid car |
