Ferrari working on new hybrid models

Governments around the world are bowing to public pressure to reduce greenhouse gases, and more often than not the first sector they look at is the auto industry.

The European Council has proposed a ruling that could see carmaker’s forced to limit their fleet average CO2 levels to 130g/km by as early as 2012, something that could have disastrous effects for niche players like Ferrari.

The supercar company is now working on cutting its vehicles’ greenhouse gas emissions by nearly half and is working on several different strategies including building lighter cars and implementing new hybrid technology.

Because CO2 is invisible and a tiny part of the atmosphere, people choose to believe their gut feelings rather than scientists.

The irony is that because CO2 is such a small component, it makes man-made changes in the level of it quite easy.

Oooooh, looking forward to seeing a "high performance" hybrid. 0-60 in 5.0 seconds and gets 35mpg? Let's see it!

The current base Cayman gets 31mpg on the highways.
