AtomicCEO Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to hang with me... Actually, you made specific mention of the gears, so I was gonna ask earlier. But now that we've come full circle, here I am! There you are!

Azazello1313 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) speaking of hybrids....saw this this morning. "the world's most powerful hybrid" The BMW X6 ActiveHybrid has arrived, and as previously covered, the new gas-electric X6 will be the most powerful hybrid in history, with 480 peak horsepower and diesel-like plateau of 575 lb-ft of torque. That impressive powertrain consists of twin electric motors (delivering 91 hp and 86 hp, respectively) and a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. All those horses will be corralled through a seven-speed dual-mode transmission and BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The run to sixty will take just 5.4 seconds and the top speed will be limited to 130 miles per hour. only problem? it's supposed to get about 18mpg. is there really a market for a 18mpg hybrid? guess we'll see.
