Hybrid Mini One?

Sorry if this is a repost don't come in here often.

Does anyone know anything about this article www.tomshardware.co.uk/2006/09/01/minicooper_allelectric/
And if any of their claims are anywhere near realistic, sounds too good to be true to me.

Sounds fishy to me... Hybrid cars are heavier than normal having to carry the power cell, electric motor, etc... So it wouldn't improve the 0 - 60 time and how would it give 6 times the BHP?
