Internal combustion engine FWD coupled with electric RWD - but given that you're into classic VWs, probably in reverse ?

I'm thinking of a parallel hybrid that is designed to recapture energy used in braking and provide small amounts of power for gentle acceleration or cruising. The ICE would provide power for hard acceleration and for hill climbing while recharging the batteries at the same time through the motor/controller.
I am very interested in getting opinions about the idea above in light of the techniques like P&G and how the hybrid might help lessen the need for varying speed.
