My “fake car” hybrid SUV is the best car I have ever owned.

I’ve gotten as high as 34.34 mpg on trips.

It’s nice looking. It’s comfortable. I can haul stuff around in it. It has enough power to get up to speed quickly.

It was new technology when I bought it. I’ve never been sorry for a moment that I opted for it.

It is approaching eleven years old. I haven’t had a single problem with it. It looks like new.

My original tires have lasted me 45,580 miles. I’ll get 50,000 out of them. Just had my brakes serviced. It was the first time it was needed in 45,000 miles.

I drive around partially on the original battery pack each time I go out. They have not lost power. Reports on cabs in New York seem to indicate I have at least 300,000 miles to go on them.

My choice was to purchase this or a gas powered SUV getting half to three quarters the mileage. I opted for this.

The give away is that I can’t pull a heavy trailer behind me. If a person needs to do that, they need a heavier duty vehicle.

This one works perfectly for me, and I am very happy it was available in March of 2006.

How does a 900hp “fake car” grab ya?

Max. Power approx. 900 hp
0 - 60 mph 2.2 s
0 - 120 mph 4.8 s

Or perhaps the baby brother 911 GT3 Hybrid?

480hp gas engine + (2) 60KW electric motors driving the front wheels
