electric motor has a flat torque curve i.e. able to produce a constant torque from idle. should be good for a car of this size

great!

btw they just rolled out S500 today. the first assembled in pekan plant. quiet a simple ceremony.

all i can say is the ground clearance is much higher than the usual S Class and the OTR price is RM1.5 million.

sigh.. i’ll just stick to my kancil.

I guess by 2012,HYBRID Tech in Auto will be mainstream.All manufacturers will have their solutions plus the fact by 2014,Mechanics and Technicians will be able to install on gasoline based cars and you know like customization and engine fitting and upgrades of engines nowadays.I it will be like adding an AC to the car or installing a new music player.THIS tech is moving fast.

Wow…wow…wow… Nowadays, almost all car manufacturers have come out with their respective Hybrid or electronic cars. These technologies are improving over time. A Ha…. How about the the engine run partly by using water? Suddenly, it becomes so quiet. From my understanding, that’s one car co located in Johor with their acclaimed “LMG Light Pick-Up” using the water for its engine. Now, dying already…..?…..

Until now, Honda Malaysia has yet to release the revised pricing for their Honda Civic Hybrid despite a drop in the excise duty and import tax started from Sept 1, 08.

Personally, it’s great to own a hybrid car. However, consumers are more conscious on the maintenance cost to own a hybrid car. Charging and replacement of hybrid battery and etc.

I’m observing how far the technology has improved over time. May be, I can own this type of car. Just may be another 15 to 20 years away from now.
