It also gains 100HP and 110 lb-ft of torque which added to the standard 620 hp/ 448 lb-ft make for a better power to weight ratio than the one not painted like Kermit.
Still, a 4000 lbs Ferrari?

It's Not Easy Being Green...
The Ferrari 599 GTB Hybrid Concept is getting all sorts of grief from "enthusiast" web sites but actually, though it gains some 220 lbs, (making it weigh about as much as much as a BMW M6) the weight is distributed so that it maintains very close to the same distribution as on the standard car and presumably similar handling.

2010 Ferrari F10 Presentation and 599 Hybrid Announcement!
Here is what the 2010 Formula one contender from Maranello will look like presented on a snowy morning in Maranello Very long, with echos of the 2009 Red Bull in the nose and a striking forward position of the exhaust compared to the rear axle, a feature which will probably be common on this year's cars because of the new emphasis on extremely clean rear end packaging (and of course the need to accommodate a larger fuel cell) . The very high long nose suggests an even more crucial importance of airflow behavior between the front wing and the car's main body. Track looks wider in the front as well.
In his speech, Luca di Montezemolo emphasized Ferrari wants to lead a new Formula 1 with a more direct technology transfer to road cars ("not space technology, real world tecnology") and though Formula 1 just did away with KERS he promised an increasing effort towards sustainable efficiency from Ferrari as a whole. With that he announced Ferrari will show a 599 Hybrid prototype at the Geneva Motor Show, a model destined for production in the near future.
Montezemolo also emphasized what is also going to be a major theme of the 2010 Formula 1 season, clearly defined national rivalries. If Mercedes is Team Germany and Mclaren will be Team UK, Ferrari will be team Italy/Latin. Latin drivers, of course, Massa and Alonso but also the technical staff, Domenicali, Costa, Luca Marmorini back in the team as head of engine design, Nik Tombazis, "..ok, he's Greek but he's Italian now.." said LdM.
The video after the jump is sketchy...internet was understandably overloaded...
