Ferrari 430 Spider Bio-Fuel Concept: What a waste!

Sorry, but Ferrari and bio-fuel are an oxymoron to me. Reports indicate that Ferrari will unveil an E85 ethanol-powered version of the 430 Spider tomorrow at the North American International Auto Show. Labeled the 430 Spider Bio Fuel, the roadster runs on the familiar mix of 85% natural ethanol and 15% gasoline, which reports suggest yield a modest 2% increase in power. That’s enough to bring the 4.3-liter V8’s output up to 500 from the standard 490 with torque rising 4% and fuel economy improving by 5%. Why do they bother?
