Show Us Your Motors!

Nice Nath!
Probably the only Hybrid i've seen that i like (excluding the silly supercar hybrids of course).

Any tuning plans? HKS GTS7040 Supercharger by chance? ;)
 
I'm curious how useful the electric motor bit is, I know the Prius is electric up to 28mph(who came up with that exact speed???) but how does it work in this?

I guess the other real question is... does it actually get 56mpg combined?

Not sure yet as ever book figures are optimistic but we'll see after a few tanks have gone through it.

Just think of it as a 5 cylinder engine with 1 cylinder you can turn off and on. Nothing like a Prius drivetrain - This motor is bolted directly to the crank shaft.

Of course it does 56mpg combined - the only drivecycle i think you can call 'combined' is that of the NEDC. Combined does not mean a mixture of driving for a UK driver.

I think motorway speed they should cruise at 50mpg although thats on the dash reading.

Ah c'mon! :P You know you wanna get 300+hp out of it ;)
At least do:

The wheels and a little drop <--- a must.
Air intake (Induction & filter)
Exhaust (manifold -> tip replacement :p)
Re-map
 
Wheels and a drop with some rear spacers would be awesome. The car looks a little underwheeled at mo but its better to have your car than getting the car already with wheels then trying to get the kit on!

Where would you recommend for a remap Rossi? :P
 
The gf's new car, picked up saturday afternoon.

Citroën DS3 1 6 Vti 120 Dstyle Plus 3dr
