Woot Mississippi! My buddy is actually the machinist there at CAVS

Impressive numbers. Especially the meager 60lb weight increase. I wonder how that snowmobile motor sounds though. Probably not great, but I could deal.

Coming soon? Already here.

Already plug in hybrids out there. All of which do regen braking. And torque vectoring is there, too.

The big difference for this car- the kind of car.

(I was going to point out the engine issues, but they are pretty easy to solve)

107 mpge is an estimate, btw. Test it, and lets really find out. There's got to be an MSU alumni somewhere who will let them test it.

This is quite impressive for a university project.

I'm glad to see an EREV that is more focused on driving than on practicality.
