No electric cars from Ferrari says firm’s boss

‘You will never see an electric Ferrari’-so says Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemelo in an interview with US website engadget.com.

While the prancing horse brand is known to be working on a hybrid model, the outspoken boss of the Italian car maker well and truly puts the boot in the idea of going fully electric, telling a reporter from the website:

Ferrari HY-KERS hybrid concept

“You will never see a Ferrari electric because I don’t believe in electric cars, because I don’t think they represent an important step forward for pollution or CO2 or the environment. But, we are working very, very hard on the hybrid Ferrari. This should be the future, and I hope in a couple of years you can see it.”

Ferrari revealed a 200mph top speed hybrid model based on the 599 model at the  Geneva Motor Show last year, saying it was scheduling the HY-KERS model for release by 2015. We await with baited breath.
