Ferrari 599 GTB HY-KERS Concept (2010)
The HY-KERS is based on the 599 GTB Fiorano but importantly, the technology may one day be fitted to all future Ferraris, 8- and 12-cylinders alike, regardless of their engine position. Ferrari at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show gives the public its first glimpse of the HY-KERS vettura laboratorio which can reduce CO2 emissions by 35 per cent on the combined cycle (ECE + EUDC).

Genebra 2011: Murciélago? Não! Eu sou Aventador!
Este é o Aventador (oficial), o sucessor do Murciélago. |
Huh! Design bem exótico. |
O carro parece ser mais futurista que o irmão Reventón. |
Este é o "tal" motor LP700-4 |
Equipado com um motor 6.5 V12 de quase 700 cv, o Aventador tem um torque máximo de espantosos 70,40 mkgf. Os dados de desempenho comprovam o poder da nova máquina da Lamborghini: a aceleração de 0 a 100 km/h leva apenas 3 segundos e a velocidade máxima é de 350 km/h.
O LP700-4 pesa 1.575 quilos, em parte graças ao cockpit com estrutura feita de um polímero reforçado com fibra de carbono. Outro componente que merece destaque é a transmissão de sete velocidades, que garante trocas de marcha em apenas 50 milissegundos.
Como a aparência também conta pontos valiosos, a Lamborghini caprichou na hora de projetar seu novo touro. A dianteira lembra muito o conceito Reventón, com formas que remetem aos caças. Os faróis tem formato triangular e, na lateral, as vistosas tomadas de ar garantem a refrigeração do motor. Visto de trás, o Aventador impressiona pelas quatro ponteiras de escape agrupadas em uma única peça e também pelas lanternas com elementos em forma de um “Y” deitado.
O interior se destaca pela grande quantidade de comandos agrupados no console central. A cabine pode receber acabamento em dois tons, com couro Alcantara revestindo os bancos tipo concha e os painéis das portas. Os primeiros felizardos vão receber seus carros entre o fim do primeiro semestre e o início do segundo semestre. Na Europa, o Aventador tem um preço sugerido de 255 mil euros.

Genebra 2011: FF, A Ferrari polêmica
Faróis da FF lembram a do esportivo 458 Italia. |
“Se a Porsche lançou um SUV, nós também temos o direito de inovar”. Provavelmente foi este o pensamento da Ferrari ao desenvolver a FF (Ferrari Four), carro-conceito que deve causar polêmica no Salão de Genebra (do dia 3 a 13 de março).
O carro surpreende pela configuração um tanto esquisito entre os modelos da Ferrari. Trata-se de um cupê de quatro lugares, mas com formas que lembram um hatchback (ou até mesmo um crossover, SUV). Na Europa, esta configuração é chamada de shooting brake.
A -FF- foi desenhada pelo estúdio Pininfarina (muito conhecido em carros Ferrari) e herdou traços de outros veículos da marca, como a 458 Italia (faróis quase que idênticos). O carro é o primeiro equipado com tração integral nas quatro rodas, batizada de 4RM (pronúncia-se FourRáiMi, ou Four Rai Me). Segundo a empresa de Maranello, os engenheiros italianos projetaram a FF, que significa Ferrari Four, de modo a ter uma distribuição de peso praticamente ideal, com 53% do peso total sobre o eixo dianteiro.
O veículo é equipado com um motor 6.2 com injeção direta de combustível, que entrega 660 cv a quase 8000 rpm. De acordo com a Ferrari, a FF acelera de 0 a 100 km/h em quase 4 segundos. A velocidade máxima não foi divulgada pela Ferrari. O conceito conta ainda com a transmissão sequencial de sete velocidades, com trocas por meio de borboletas e tecnologia vinda das pistas de Formula 1.
