# Watch Ferrari’s Upcoming Hybrid Supercar Get Chased by a Motorcycle Around Maranello

***UPDATE:*** *The video has been removed from YouTube.*

Due out at the end of the month, [Ferrari's upcoming V8 hybrid supercar](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/28056/watch-a-prototype-of-ferraris-new-hybrid-supercar-try-to-hide-outrun-car-spotters>) has been spotted once again. The heavily-camouflaged prototype here is being chased around the hills of Maranello by the GoPro-wearing rider of a Yamaha Tracer 900 touring bike. Even when pursued by an agile motorcycle, the mid-engined Ferrari appears to be quite the capable canyon-carver, getting away from the Yamaha routinely and with ease. Considering all that's been rumored about the electrified Ferrari, that's hardly a surprise.

Ferrari boss Louis Camilleri previously said that the company's new hybrid offering would be more powerful than the front-engined, [789-horsepower 812 Superfast](<https://www.thedrive.com/video/12237/the-2018-ferrari-812-superfast-breathes-new-life-into-the-v-12>). It'll allegedly use an evolved version of the LaFerrari hypercar's hybrid system, approach 1,000 horsepower, and sprint to 60 miles per hour in two seconds dead. The car will likely use a V8 instead of a V12, like the LaFerrari and 812 do.

Even though its name and final design remain a mystery for now, its general shape is said to hark back to the company's 330 P3/4 Le Mans racer. What's more, *FerrariChat* forum members speculate that the car may be called ["BB,"](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/2179/amelia-island-hits-the-ferrari-mother-lode>) an abbreviation of Berlinetta Boxer and not "baby" as seen in countless misguided Tinder messages.

For those sick of staring at spy footage of this car's rear end, we get a glimpse of its face (albeit heavily disguised) at around 5:00 into the video. Ferrari's new license-killer is expected to debut May 31. Expect it to seat two, come in red and probably yellow, and be really freakin' fast.
