<VV> Grip & Handling (Ferrari)

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Tony,
Funny you should mention this... I saw a Ferrari on Friday, which is quite  
a feat since it was in downtown Elizabethtown... I think it had "430" on 
the  rear... it was rear engined, and I pulled up to it in my 64 sedan... gave 
him a  thumbs up and he smiled... a VERY wicked sounding ride...
The first I've seen in these parts, for sure!
Later,
Lonzo... driving his 1964 700 sedan pretty much everywhere...

According to online reports, Ferrari has filed a patent  application for 
a 4x4 drive hybrid system which could be fitted to  both its 
front- and rear-engined models.


The patent proposals state an electric motor will  operate one pair of 
wheels while the engine drives the other, the  reports said.

But Ferrari seems to qualifies that the aim is not  to save fuel. 
Rather, in those documents Ferrari says the hybrid  technology 
is designed to improve grip and  handling...
