There's all sorts of good performance stuff going on with hybrid concepts right now. For instance:

Jaguar CX75:



195hp electric motor at each wheel. Two small gas-powered TURBINE ENGINES that can either charge the battery or power the wheels directly, a la Chevy Volt.

Okay, okay. So it's just a concept at this point.

How's about a diesel/electric hybrid that's actually in the works?



As for the Acura, I think it looks good, hybrid or not. I'd like to see The Stig put them through their paces side-by-side, but I kinda doubt that'll happen.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Too bad they're pushing 4000 pounds like everything else these days. Apparently Acura lost the design notes from the first NSX.

Yep, I recall reading somewhere recently that they'd be around 3800#.

If that's the case, major fail.

That's about 1000# too much
