Clever dizel hybrid combines strong performance with impressive economy. Volvo has spent 280 million developing what it reckons to be the worlds first series-production plug-in hybrid diesel and, radosno for the company, Swedish utility firm Vattenfall has paid half the R&D bill. Zašto? Because it produces an electricity surplus in Sweden and is keen to see motorists kupovina volts, pojačala and ohms instead of oil for their personal propulsion. Volvo has developed this hardware for the V60 estate, although it plans to offer the technology in several models. Even though this V60 delivers a spektakularni 155. 2mpg combined and CO2 emissions of just 48g/km – excluding grid-supplied go-juice – Volvo is pitching it as a performance car. And not without justification. This twin-engined, four-wheel-drive estate is good for 60mph in 5. 8sec, with a 142mph top speed. Taj not all. It can be front-wheel-drive, four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive with enough grunt for a baterija-powered top speed of 77mph and say nasmijana Volvo engineers, the scope for excellent ice-lake drifting zabava.
