Connaught Hybrid Sports Car.

a hybrid sports car. was going to happen eventually (though the Lexus GS hybrid already has decent specs). and this one in addition to being a hybrid... has some weird yet seriously oddly attractive styling to it. i like it.



though i'm generally not a fan of hybrids ... preferring diesels... this one has some very strange engine specs even if it wasn't a hybrid.

first its petrol parts are in the V10 form factor... okay. no biggie... but the V10 has a F1-esque displacement of a mere 2.1L ... those are some rinky dink cylinders. probably revs like no ones business though. in addition to that... the angle of the V is only 22 degrees... making it darn close to an inline engine. (for reference... most are 60 or 90... with the also-close-to-inline VW VR6 being lower at 15 degrees) an inline 10 cylinder engine. nutso.

all this from a niche low-market manufacturer. lots of work to design your own engine. impressive.
