The future of hot hatches?
This hybrid power setup is filtering down from Mclaren P1s and La Ferraris...

But £50k? Also a Peugeot is the last thing you want to be adding more electric to.

I can see this being the start of a new generation of hot hatches, hybrid power.
The big problem is not melting the battery by asking for too much power from it. A petrol engine has some tolerance to how much power it can provide, a battery giving too much in one go would destroy its self. However, it's good to see innovation again from Peugeot. The more stuff getting developed makes it better for all of us. |

I wonder how much longer we will have to listen to road testers telling us "the electric motors fill in the gaps in the torque"?
