    From the article - right as I began to read, the poor author/quasi journalist finds their self in error where they state;
    um - no, the top end is by FAR way above the measly i8 as the author apparently never realized Porsche has a MUCH much more pzazzy plugin hybrid.
    I give you - Germany's premier Nurburgrig race track - production street car record holder beating the 7minute barrier / smashing the prior street car record by nearly 1/4 minute . . . the 918 Spyder
    :eek:

    This AWD pig BLOWS AWAY - beats the 900+hp McLaren on Laguna seca, due to its combo
    ICE/EV motors / 900+ foot lbs of torque (wiping off drool) ... MSRP $845,000.00
    a tad more than the i8 I woukd certainly say.
    oh! and did I forget to mention?
    The sypder's (nearly 7kWh pack)12 miles pure electric ! As much as the Gen 1 PiP
    and it's elegible for over $3k fed tax deduction.
    :D
    But - since this is a Volt thing, I'll say one good note in the read;
    Yea, one thing strange with Volt Rev1 was it was definitely a tad on the noisy side when the ICE was running ... as tho it was straining more than it should.
    So it's quieter ... and it's a lot less costly than the 918 spyder!

    at least he understands the gas price/alt fuel vehicle sales relationship.

    these positive articles are gonna get c&d in trouble with their core base coal rollers.
