Mitsubishi said at the time that the Px-MiEV could travel up to 30 miles in electric mode before switching to gasoline-electric mode.
Audi RS3 is Revealed, Packs 340 HP
Audi has finally come clean on its RS3 Sportback, revealing photos and information about the four-door hatchback planned for European sale next March.The RS3 uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine borrowed from the TT RS.
The automatic structure, which retains the characteristic buttresses that extend back over the trunk lid, is claimed to open in just 19 seconds and close in 24 seconds at the push of a console-mounted button. Stowed in a dedicated compartment behind the rear bulkhead, it is covered by a plastic tonneau cover when down to preserve the car's elegant new lines. As with the outgoing model, a separate glass rear screen, mounted vertically, can be opened separately from the cloth hood.
Toyota Motor Corp. plans to introduce 11 new or redesigned hybrid vehicles by 2012, but the carmaker is hardly neglecting the humble internal combustion engine.
Turbos and direct fuel injection will be added throughout
