SciFrog:

 Unless they havesome breakthrough technology, hybrid is just a diversion to keep our green friends happy...


Nope, no real breakthrough. They use a supercharged Audi V6 engine for this purpose. Output is in the 380 HP range (with hybrid active), without it aprox. 330 HP.

Look at the BMW X6 Active Hybrid. No real breakthrough here either in my opinion. 

Diversion? Yes and no. They also need the hybrid to lower fleet consumption/CO2 output. Smiley
