Welcome to ecomodder Brian.

Do you want ideas to improve the not-so-good aerodynamics of a Beetle ?
That's going to be hard to improve without ruining its classic looks.

There's an ongoing thread about a user who's planning to seriously aeromod a Bug, but it probably ain't going to look pretty to anyone expecting a classic Beetle

Rear wheel skirts could be an option.

Stealthy mods could be done on the underside though.
Belly pan, air dam, tire or wheel well wind deflectors.

to explore ideas relating to a hybrid design for AWD vehicles
Are you thinking along the lines of the Volvo V60 hybrid ?
Internal combustion engine FWD coupled with electric RWD - but given that you're into classic VWs, probably in reverse ?
