Ferrari is not a brand known for environmental responsibility or fuel efficiency. However, they will be making some kind of announcement tomorrow here at Cobo Hall and it will involve the curvy beauty you see pictured here. Hey, I was talking about the car! Ferrari does not typically adorn their road-going vehicles with big stickers, leaving those for the sponsors on the race cars. This F430 Spyder, however, features some prominently placed BioFuel tags indicating that the car will be fueled by ethanol. We'll know all the details tomorrow but in the meantime just enjoy the view.

e85 is not green 9:54PM (1/13/2008)
I'm sorry to inform you but ethanol is not greener than gas. It takes more pollution and energy to make the same amount of a gal of gas even before you burn ethanol. And why spend all the farming for food for fuel when you can get electricity for free?
And really, when there's technology where you can recharge at home I dont see the point of a less efficient fuel type that's subsidized, by the government so it won't go out of business, doesn't seem that great of a solution.
It's just PR moves when automakers use e85.
