YEah right..Fast at a premium. If they ever come out with a production hybrid sports car, it will be too expensive to make a profit.

 

^^^^i beg to differ. Price has a way of decreasing as technology advances and demand rises. If your philosophy is true, everything these days would be overprice and noprfitable.

looks cool to ride in... must be comfy

 

why does it need 8 wheels?

 

beats me..but behind each of those wheels is an electric motor. When I say behind..I mean like mounted with the rotors. Kinda awkward but it's supposed to fit inside the wheel well.

 

Have they made any hybrid cars that have manual transmissions yet? I've only seen automatics.

 

Honda Insight. I have a co-worker who has a 50 mile commute, that things gives her 76mpg.
