[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16630389, member: 67454"] You know what would be cool, though ... would be a hybrid built for performance. A gas engine optimized to run efficiently in a narrow range of rpm for max efficiency, charging a moderately sized battery that served more to even out power delivery as needed on demand to a speed control and drive motors. You need a generator, but you can toss the transmission by using the speed control to drive the gears. Make it four motors, each spinning a CV axle, and you can get rid of the differentials, as well. Now you have electric drive and it's efficiencies, with gas tank range. Design it right, you could even switch over to direct generator to motors, if you let the engine rev a bit more. That'd haul ass! And be loud. [/QUOTE]
