If Ferrari Produced A Hybrid Would YOU Think It Is Sacrilegious?

According to latest reports, it seems the engineers in Maranello are hard at work preparing a Ferrari hybrid for the Geneva Motor Show. Yes, a hybrid.

Quattroruote is reporting that they expect the system to utilize methods that have been learned in the Formula 1 energy recovery system, KERS.

The system would operate on lithium-ion batteries, and an electric motor, that would recharge during deceleration and braking. This method is said to cut consumption approximately 35 percent in an urban cycle.

If all of this is true, I say "go for it." Without innovations and advancements, Ferrari will become extinct in future years due to tightening MPG and C02 restrictions.

But, we must ask, do you feel this is sacrilegious to the brand? We know the system will add weight and it may change the driving experience but is this a necessary evil in today's times?
