This is an electric car, hybrid car and muscle-car all rolled into one. At the touch of a button, the driver can choose which of the three cars they want to drive at any given moment. These range from Pure (solely using its electric motor as much as possible), Hybrid, the standard setting whenever the car is started; and Power, using the total power output of 215+70hp. The electric motor's lightning-fast torque delivery helps propel it from 0-100km/h in just 6.2 seconds.
Pressing the AWD button activates the electrical 4WD, designed to give better grip when starting and when driving on slippery roads.
It was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last March and comes in just one colour - Electric Silver.
As yet we don't know when we will have the car here in Ireland, but a limited number go on sale across the pond early 2012, increasing there in 2013.
