SPIED + VIDEO: Nabbed On Film, ANOTHER Look At Ferrari's Midengine, V8 Hybrid

Our friend, Toldi, is out and about causing trouble again.

His latest clips he's passed along — thank you — are of the midengine V8 Ferrari hybrid. Oddly enough, the car was testing in Stuttgart rather than Ferrari's Fiorano or the streets of Maranello.

Peculiar, really, since that's usually where all of Ferrari's research & development vehicles are spotted. But, it is what it is, folks.

That said, the car is bodied as a 488 GTB. This isn't a surprise since we've previously spotted a 488 around Maranello with an exposed rear end. That detail is critical as you could see the hook ups to the battery in the engine compartment a la the La Ferrari.

In this clip you'll note the stickers on the side of the prototype declaring it has some sort of battery/electric system going on.

Stay tuned for the latest, Spies.

It will be interesting to see what the supercar makers come up with in terms of hybrid cars and what the pure electric range will be on them. You can see legislation changing in the future and only zero emission cars may be allowed in city centres. Having 50-100 miles of range would allow this for city driving and you could then use a blend of the petrol and the electric motors when you are outside the city core.

I can hear the awful sound of an electric motor revving up;. Sounds like being in an elevator and NOT a Ferrari.
