With Porsche and Lamborghini unveiling the 918 Spyder Concept and Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera yesterday, Ferrari didn't want to be left alone. Today, Ferrari unveiled its HY Kers Concept 2010, a sports Hybrid, based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
Power like a big V6, fuel economy like a modest four-cylinder unit – Audi presents the A8 hybrid as a technology concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Its two propulsion units – a 2.0 TFSI and an electric motor – develop a total output of 245PS of system power and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the Audi A8 hybrid to accelerate in 7.6 seconds from zero to 62mph and to achieve a top speed of 146mph. Yet average economy amounts to up to 45.6mpg – the CO2 equivalent is 144 grams per km.
