This is a Hybrid?!

For most people, the word "hybrid" brings about the thought of a fuel sipping, money saving vehicle. This seems to go hand in hand with the thought of sluggish performance and a boring drive. But who says hybrids have to be boring? Well, Volkswagen has raised the bar again. The new Touareg will be the world's first supercharged hybrid, and it moves! The supercharged V6, combined with the new electric motor, will pump out a total of 380 hp, and 425 lbs/ft of torque! That's enough to rocket this mid-size SUV to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, and blast it through the 1/4 mile in 14.3 seconds. Oh yeah, and because it's a hybrid, it still gets 20 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway.... in an SUV. Boom.
