That's kinda funny to me. Audi spent the most money yet had the least amount of hybrid So what was all the money spent on since they only had 1 ers? Was it the diesel powertrain? Aerodynamics? All the talk from Peugeot or whoever is making the comments that one ers will drop the costs needs to take another look.
