Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
February 8, 2007
Almost live from the Philadelphia Auto Show at the Philadelphia Convention Center ...
Along with the expected Hybrid cars offered by Honda, Toyota, Ford and Saturn was a unique vehicle ... The "World's First Hybrid Supercar".
The Hybrid Attack was developed and built by students from the Academy for Automotive & Mechanical Engineering at West Philadelphia High School.
Specs:
Fuel: 100 % Biodiesel
Performance: 0 - 6- in less than 4 seconds
Economy: 50+ MPG
Power: Modified VW 105 HP TDi and AC motor
Weight: 2290 pounds
The car won t he 2006 Tour De Sol.
According to students and booth attendees the total cost of the car was approx. $100,000. Components were donated by Toyota and Suburu via dealers and board members.
Still ... Quite amazing for students ... a challenge for Detroit and the rest of the auto industry????
