Evora hybrid now up for sale
Discussion
A small manufacturer trying to develop its own powerfrain usually ends in tears: Lotus themselves in an earlier life, TVR etc.
Why go to the trouble and expense of developing a hybrid (therefore stop-gap tech) car when:
1) you can let the big boys do it for you
2) you can concentrate on electric powertrains, not forgetting that your primary product already has history with it (Tesla).
Once batteries et light/energy dense enough for a small sports car like, say, an Elise (not far away, remembering that their owners don’t normally “drive to Edinburgh” at a moments notice therefore don’t need 5000000000 miles range) any hybrid tech will be dead.

This seems to be a plugin hybrid though which has legs in my opinion provided there is useful battery range and some means can be found to ensure it is actually plugged in.Why go to the trouble and expense of developing a hybrid (therefore stop-gap tech) car when:
