The 430 Ferrari Scuderia was officially unveiled, to much fanfare, by Michael Schumacher at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt back in September.

Ferrari was quick to point out that its fastest production car ever showed great achievement in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. But before those who want to green the auto industry worldwide start wearing red, they better think again if they feel Ferrari will ever go the hybrid route.

Asked whether the Prancing Horse brand would ever build a hybrid or electric car, the general manager of Ferrari European Automotive Imports Kevin Wall was emphatic: “I believe there is no possibility of that whatsoever.”

“It just so happens that the way that the vehicles are being produced by the factory also makes them technically green, because they are so highly efficient,” he added.

“I don’t think that’s a prime motivator for people to purchase a Ferrari, though.”

Nor do I !!!
