However, having said that, Posche 918.... mmm Yes Please.
I agree, start with your efficient engine and make that better rather than go the petrol route.

The Mercedes E300 is a diesel hybrid. It is very good, the 250CDI with a bit of extra power and a lovely schematic showing where the energy is going! Drives very well and does reward with power or economy. Very good, I liked it and would buy it. I don't do the miles to justify it, but if I did then why not?

A P1 or 918 - I agree, yes please.
