2 engines= lots of wires and computer control. seems like a big mess to me. plus the car looks gay with that stupid cover over the back wheel.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Problem is, the cars are still to expensive to start playing with. At one point, I was going to buy one to drive to work, and play around with it once the engine/batteries are shot.

All the body panels are aluminum, so it won't rust... the drag coefficient is extremely low and once you take the batteries & electric motor out it'll be even lighter than it already is. I'm guessing several hundred pounds lighter.

The only problem is the engine bay is tiny. I don't know that there's enough length to fit an engine.

honda put that wheel cover as well as the rim design like that for max fuel economy.

looks definitely like a 3rd gen CRX

I was always wonderin about an H22 or C5 Insight

thing would be 12's stock hybrid

I think the NSX powered CRX is better.
