Default Porsche Hybrid - cutting edge of technology

This is why Porsche is such a good engineering company. They are always at the cutting edge. Said to be a C4-type with twin engines, a battery and all wheel drive: http://www.hybrid-vehicle.org/hybrid...e-porsche.html

Pick up Dennis Adler's book, Road from Zuffenhausen - covers the early cars like these, etc.

I keep telling my wife that we will get a hybrid when:

1. it has a motor at each wheel, preferably motor-in-hub.
2. it has Li-ion batteries, or better.
3. It has a constant velocity diesel powered generator.
4. It does not have a transmission of any kind.
5. It does not have brakes - it uses reverse current to the electric motors.
6. It is made in Germany.
7. It has a standard house plug for overnight charging.

Tesla is the closest thing out there, but still falls way short.

95% of the driving we do is within 50 miles of home.
