That's possibly the worst mock-up of a car I've ever seen. Even Auto Express would struggle to match that!

One design flaw, is that if it is going to be a hybrid, then you don't need all the ducting and cooling at the front of it.

Maybe that's where the driver has to look out of. He/she wouldn't have much joy seeing anything out of the cockpit after all

isnt that ducting pointing to the rear of the wheels so its intended for brake cooling rather than engine cooling. either way its still one ugly mf and looks more like a design produced by a 10 year old than a real car.

Looks like a photochop

I think the Yukon Hybrid has a 6.2 Vortec with tiny electric motor!

Oh isn't it ghastly! The world desperately need sensible electric cars but not another silly performance one. Well done to Testla for being the 1st but we don't need anymore. With the G-Wiz being the only thing we can actually buy in Britain we just need something in between.

It is likely to be £30K when it reaches these shores. I would really like one but 30K is allot even if Gordon chips in £5K. I can then retire the Monaro from bad weather etc.
