Ferrari Confirms 4X4 In The Works, Good OR Bad?

Ferrari has been working on an electrically driven 4x4 system for its future models, senior company sources have confirmed.

The various alternatives for the hybrid system were first revealed on the Autocar website earlier this year but Ferrari says the final hybrid design will be used for front engined GT models and will drive the front wheels.

However, the source says that the first models equipped with the system will not appear before 2014. The aim of the 4x4 system – which will use motors mounted inboard of the front wheels – will be to improve handling rather than improve fuel economy.....

an exotic 4x4 is fine as long as it doesnt look like that LAMBO truck....It will be interesting to see how they would put a 4x4 together

I dont think they're building a truck or SUV. I think they're adding like an all wheel drive system to their cars.

To put it mildly, I'm sure Ferrari knows what they're doing.

I say it should be a terrific idea because Lamborghini seem to handle very good with 4x4 system on cars like the gallardo
