So some laughable 3 series hybrid was behind me today, I let him past then tucked in behind him to make him taste my torque, having a 320d nothing can escape me on a slight incline as it's the fastest car in the world!
So, hybrids, BMW seem to have missed the point....

...Using a 306bhp straight-six turbo with that electrified transmission, to make a car that'll do 0-60 in five seconds.
...You can choose to spend that saved energy in different ways. You can use it on replacing engine power, to use less fuel. Or on augmenting the engine power, to go faster on the same fuel.
...The performance gain is nice, but it isn't all that great: the petrol engine is 306bhp, the electric one takes the total to 340bhp

This didn't end well for me.
I'm liking this version of the "hybrid" though, but for almost 6k over a standard car???
