Colin Chapman had the right idea; make it fast and then add lightness. A hybrid may be a wonderful technological achievement, but they are never going to be that much fun to drive. The batteries just add too much weight. Even if you get it to accelerate quickly in a straight line all that mass still comes back to bite you when you try to turn. It strikes me that the IQ much purer expression of an ideal. Or something like that. Anyway I think it is going to be a better drive.
