And if the new color of Ferrari became the green? The builder of Maranello presents to the show of Strait a prototype of ecological F430, F430 Spider Biofuel.

We did not dare to imagine it. Symbols of sportsmanship, power, beautiful mechanics, an unforgettable noise, unequalled sensations of driving, and pollution, cars in the Made rear Horse turn to the alternative energies. The conference on the technological innovations which had taken place during the ceremonies of the 60th anniversary of the brand had nevertheless let it hear. Ferrari wants to limit the consumption of his automobiles and their discharges of CO2. The objective for 2012 was even fixed to a decline of 40 %!

As very often, the researches in this domain take place at Ferrari in competition. So the regulation of the world championship of F1 imposes a fuel incorporating 5,75 % of by-products of biomass. Championships TRUSTED GT and American Le Mans Series ( ALMS) goes even farther by using fuels with 10 % of ethanol. Ferrari indicates moreover that all his current automobiles can already run to E10 without any modification.

But in Strait it is the prototype of F430 Spider rolling to E85 that present Ferrari. F430 Spider Biofuel can use so indifferently some classic gasoline or E85, thus a fuel containing 85 % of ethanol for 15 % of unleaded 95. For it the cartography engine and the arrival of gasoline were modified. If the weight of F430 remains the same, the car gains 10 hp, passing from 490 to 500 ch, 4 % of couple and reduced its emissions of 5%.

If this car is right current only a prototype, Ferrari will have to find solutions quickly to reach its objective of reduction of the consumption and the emissions of CO2 in a much more consequent way. The weight of engines and the reduction of their capacity are already for the study.
