The Audi Q7 Hybrid Concept

Greenskid — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 15:33:31 +0000

The Audi Q7 Hybrid Concept is an excellent hybrid vehicle that uses the world-renowned FSI direct-injection petrol engine. That being said, it can generate an impressive 350 horsepower and turning power of up to 440 newton-meters of torque.

Since it’s a hybrid car, the Audi Q7 Hybrid Concept has an electric motor that works with its top-of-the-line combustion engine. Basically, the electric motor gets its energy from the battery system that can be found underneath its floor pan. Since the batteries and electric motor don’t weigh that much, they don’t affect the car’s movement at all.

Clearly, the Audi Q7 Hybrid Concept is the hands-down winner if you want to go green without having to sacrifice power and looks.
