Several images of Ferrari’s upcoming 599 Hybrid concept have leaked online ahead of the car’s official debut at the Geneva Auto Show next week. The photos appear to be snapped at the Italian automaker’s stand at the Geneva Show, where the car is sitting in preparation for its Tuesday unveiling.

Little is still known about the hybrid exotic, although it is expected to use a version of Ferrari’s F1-derived Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) setup, using power generated under braking to deliver an extra boost of power, available to the driver via a steering wheel button.

It is not clear if Ferrari intends that the hybrid system work to save fuel as well, but rumors have suggested that it could help power the car at low speeds and when combined with an automatic start/stop system could drastically reduce the vehicle’s fuel consumption.

i'm very interested to see/hear more about the FT-86 production model..

^ indeed very green.

hybrid ferraris symbolic color..? scuderia green

That is very sexy. I love that color too

I really like it, even though the side profile at a quick glance looks somewhat like a viper.

apple candy green, interesting

Im sure the hybrid model will save sooo much gas *rolls eyes*

^ If you know what the KERS is intended for (not saving gas but performance boost for a short period of time after charge), you wouldn't be rolling your eyes.

Cars should only run on gas!!!!

The smell, the sound....

because Ferrari owners care about saving gas
