Toyota Volta Concept
I didn't see it in a search - but likely old news anyway.

Looks like a hybrid Diablo!

"We're too embarrassed to come straight out and admit we can't even manage 32MPG with a state-of-the-art hybrid." :thumbdown::p Rick P.S. On the off chance they're talking Imperial gallons it works out to a bit over 38MPG. |
either way
Good catch, Rick
Either way it stinks... -RH77 |
You guys realize it has like 400 horsepower right? So 32mpg is a bit better than 10mpg.

But from most of our POVs it's the MPG figure that matters more than off-the-line performance. Unless you're into really aggressive P&G! :p Rick |

Honestly, for our small group, I'm sure it's one or the other... I suppose it is a cool car :rolleyes: RH77 |

I agree, anything that gets folks excited about this stuff, or proves that performance and economy can coexist (where have I heard that before? ;) ) is good.
Hey RH77, now that zero-to-sixty-in-four-seconds and 400-horsepower have been highlighted and I disclaimed my less-than-32MPG comment as "mostly joking," I'll take a moment to point in the opposite direction. Here is an article from 2006 about a hybrid that gets 50MPG. And does zero to sixty in four seconds. And has 350 combined horsepower. And was built mostly thanks to high school students. :D I'm looking forward to Toyota catching up. ;) Rick P.S. Project background info |
prolly not up to the same emission standards of the Toyota.
