No it doesn't I'm afraid. It's a small hatchback available in FWD only.
I can understand that this probably isn't the best idea for someone who is not very good in this area, but it would make a great addition to my project. I plan on making this car able to do upwards of 100mpg (UK) so around 83mpg US on the highway, and as much as possible around town. A little ambitious I know, but it's a nice round number to aim for.
My current best is around 57mpg at an average speed of 34mph using P&G without turning off the engine... I'll try it today with the engine off during glides to see what I get.
The most economical version of my vehicle is the diesel which is a 2.0 litre turbo... I keep wondering whether I should try and tweak that instead, as it has 63mpg highway as standard according to the book.
So, what's my best option here? Try to find an electric motor from somewhere and work out how to fit it to a rear wheel and build a motor controller... or take out parts from a car already using electric/hybrid technology (probably very expensive). I'll be doing as much as possible to optimise my current engine, but building in new parts not designed for the car is something I need help with xP.
