Ferrari 599 HY-KERS Hybrid: Plug-In Prancing Stallion

The latest hyper hybrid to roll out of a storied European fast factory is the Ferrari 599 HY-KERS Hybrid concept. Unveiled yesterday at Geneva, the HY-KERS is actually just a V12 599 with a token 107 hp electric motor crow-barred into the engine bay.  And, with over 200 lbs of electro fancywork on board, the extra hundred or so ponies are pretty much rendered neutral.

Here at Discover Hybrid Cars, we’re still undecided on how we feel about Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus and the other gods of performance churning out hybrids. A lot of technology has trickled down to our daily drivers through the years thanks to these legendary garages pushing the envelope on the track, and hopefully by pushing the hybrid envelope we’ll get some usable ideas for our commuter cars. After all, with such limited build numbers and the fact that those who have em rarely drive em, are supercars really the problem?

Porsche Cayenne Hybrid: Two Sacrileges with One Stone

Friday, 26 February 2010 00:22 Keen & Green Hybrid Car News

2011 Porsche Cayenne

Not only is Porsche giving its “SUV” a second generation, they’re gonna make it a hybrid. Now, this leads to a couple of conundrums for the staff here at Discover Hybrid Cars. First, Porsche and SUV go together like stripes and plaids. But, thanks to yuppies with children, and emo boys at a Belle & Sebastian concert, both combos are here to stay.

Our second problem: As earth lovers, we love hybrids. As car lovers, we love Porsches. But do we want either of these interests homogenized by the other—hell no. Worrying about MPG in a Porsche and going fast in a hybrid just kinda defeats the purpose of both.

Set for unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid is the next hot high-performance hybrid. Not to be outdone by Porsche and the other hyper hybrids, this car most certainly stays true to the Lotus lineage. How true, you ask? How about 0-60 in under-4-seconds true? Winding Road posted the press release here.
