Interestingly the specs say 0-60mph in 4.2secs (nice!!) although 357hp down from earlier estimates of 362. I believe I read somewhere (and it makes sense) this is because the power peaks of both engines overlap in such a way that the combined maximum is 357, even though the individual electric motor peak output is 131hp and the Turbo-3 is 231hp.

Surprisingly, though, the MPG figure isn't up there with the main 4 specs (price, 0-60, hp, charge time).
I bet it's because it hasn't been rated by the EPA yet.. in fact, "mpg" doesn't even appear on the page at all.

Screenshot attached in case they take it down like they did the last one!
Wow that's pretty sweet. The mpg isn't on there. I'm pretty sure it will increase above the 94 mpg already achieved.
