Ferrari and Porsche showed us recently at the “Geneva Motor Show”. Priyadarshan Bawikar infers that the greens may not take over the future after all.

The green parade was out in full force at the “Geneva Motor Show” this year with auto makers displaying everything from fully-electric cars to the increasingly popular hybrids to even highly efficient diesel burners. While this might be good news for all the eco-mentalists out there, this whole trend towards environmentally conscious motoring does feel like it might be the death knell for supercars and it’s enough to leave all us petrol-heads sweating under our collars. But while true blue supercars might indeed become a thing of the past in the foreseeable future, it seems green ones might just be the salvation of auto aficionados everywhere. And this year’s Geneva Motor Show played host to just such ‘green supercars’ from two of the biggest names in the business.

The first one of these was from none other than Ferrari – and even the least informed auto enthusiast knows that car doesn’t get any more ’super’ than Ferrari. At the Geneva show, the Maranello-based supercar maker showed off its popular 599 GTB Fiorano grand tourer armed with an advanced new hybrid transmission. Now Ferrari has been working towards making its high performance cars more efficient over the last few years, and this new HY-KERS system is the latest technology to come from the company’s know-how learned through years of making ultra-fast road cars and an equal number of years of mastery in the cut-throat world of Formula 1. The system actually derives a part of its name (KERS) from the kinetic energy recovery system that was an integral part of Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars in the 2009 Grand Prix season.
