Apologies for the Daily Wail link, but Leonardo Di Caprio's new Hybrid is worth a look.

The reviews say it is a pity the 4 cylinder engine is very unrefined - the car is apparently super-refined when running on the electric motors only. Of course it does not handle like a sports car with the great weight of two propulsion systems and batteries. Personally, I think it is a better proposition than the similar looking pure electric Tesla saloon due shortly - at least the petrol range extender engine does away with range anxiety - and makes it possible to use the car for longer journeys.

Karma eh? Looks alright, don't think I'd pick one (and the extra cash) over a Aventador though, I'd leave the planet saving to another shmuck.
