Set to be unveiled at the 2015 Geneva show very soon is a plug-in hybrid sports car concept from Austrian contract manufacturer Magna Steyr. Dubbed the Mila Plus, the two-seater study is motivated by a three-cylinder petrol engine and two electric motors; one for each axle.
Output figures have not been released yet, but they must be significant, for in hybrid mode, the 1,520 kg vehicle can do the century sprint in just 4.9 seconds. Engage electric mode and it’ll be capable of 0-80 km/h in 3.6 seconds.
Meanwhile, the range is said to be around 500 km, over 70 of which can be covered in electric mode. CO2 emissions are a quoted 32 grams per km.
The Mila Plus is built on an aluminium frame with integrated batteries, and parts of the car, including the chassis and interior, are fully recyclable. More details should surface after the car is unveiled.
