Another
example of hybrid vehicle potential
The Enigma
Diesel hybrid goes from 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds while
achieving 80 mpg.
I was reading the article New
wave of hybrids offer more mean, less green this morning
when I came across the Engima. The Enigma is a diesel hybrid
performance vehicle that was created by University of San
Diego Engineering Professor Jim Burns. While it achieves 80
mpg, the $60,000 hybrid vehicle also goes from 0 to 60 in a
blazingly fast 4.3 seconds (Mr. Burns is willing to sell the
vehicles for $60,000.00, if he could obtain 1000 orders).
This is another example of what hybrid
cars could do, so why doesn't the mainstream autoworld
get its act together? Perhaps a company like ZAP
will get involved - keep your fingers crossed.

with Mr. Burns.
