The operating principle for transverse-engined FWD applications like the Prius and for longitudinal-engined RWD ones such as the Lexus LS600h is roughly the same, and there are also the Hino 300 Hybrid trucks which also have a real gearbox (IIRC it's a clutchless 6-speed AMT) along the HSD setup.

Anyway the hybrid drive is most likely that last thing ill do. The sheer cost is the limiting factor.

Indeed. BTW would you eventually consider something like the BAS-Hybrid setup to provide some mild level of regenerative braking and electric drive assist?
