The rumor have now been confirmed and purist everywhere are upset, Ferrari is coming out with Hybrid. The European patent office is filing for a “4wd drive system with hybrid propulsion” from Ferrari. Now, I am getting excited about this.
Most likely the hybrid will be based off of the Ferrari 599 that was unveiled in 2006. How they are going to achieve their goal of a supercar hybrid is still yet to be determined but if one car can pull it off, my money is on Ferrari.

I don’t know how they do it but Mercedes-Benz is always ahead of the curve on car advancements and this year model does not disappoint. I don’t even know where they come up with these things, but once I hear of them, it makes complete sense to have that technology on a vehicle.
This year’s model has a drowsiness sensor that help keep the driver awake. It has a radar system that both senses cars in the blind spot but also prepares the car if it is close to any other car. The Sat Nav shows a movie to everyone else but the driver. Oh and my personal favorite, it has a sensor that tells when another car is approaching, and dims the lights so to not obstruct the vision of the other driver. Well done, Mercedes, Well done!
