Not sure why they couldn't have just used a N55 engine or a newer twin turbo I6 instead an I3 and when someone wanted the performance you got 330 hp from the engine plus the electric for almost 500 hp and 500 foot pounds. With it being 3200 pounds and a great looking car, that would have been a true competitor with a ton of regular sports cars but now this thing loses out to any of the current contenders let alone the new breed to come
Well said
