Ferrari to reveal hybrid 599

Ferrari will introduce hybrid technology and the first model to get it will be the 599, chairman Luca di Montezemolo confirmed at the presentation of the race team's 2010 Formula One car yesterday.

No details of the new car were forthcoming, but Montezemolo said the prototype 599 would be officially unveiled at the Geneva Show in March.

European patents revealed last year suggest that Ferrari was working on a four-wheel drive hybrid drivetrain with electric motors powering the front wheels.
