: First Photos Leak on the Web     
 

We've been hearing a lot about Ferrari's  Geneva-bound 599 Hybrid concept model for quite some time now, but the  Italian supercar maker apparently can't keep it under wraps anymore as  the first photos of the prototype model made it onto the web today.
Photos aside, we asked around and our  sources gave us some inside information on the hybrid system featured on  the 'green' 599 concept model.
 The system comprises of an electric motor  producing somewhere around 100 horsepower and 137Nm (110 lb-ft) of  torque that is attached on the back-end of the rear-mounted  transmission, and a battery pack located under the floor.

The extra power is  said to compensate for the added weight which is said to be close to 100  kilos or about 220 pounds, making the 599 Hybrid faster than the stock  model.
Last but not  least, we were told that the hybrid system is still in its infancy  stage and will most likely take a few years to be offered on a series  production model.
It goes without saying that we'll have all the details on the concept car after its debut in Geneva next week.
