LOS ANGELES — In developing the Tennis GTE Game idea, Nova obtained a lot of technical from its Nova Group stablemates. It took the graphite spend technological innovation from the Bugatti Veyron, a plug-in multiple system just like the Lamborghini Asterion and a 295 horse power 1.6-liter turbocompresseur fuel motor from the VW rushing team.

The outcome is a attractive hot hatchback that, thanks to its two power engines, generates 395 horse power and does 0 to 62 mph in 4.3 a few moments, while also accomplishing 118 mpg comparative (mpge). Oh, really, and it has gull-wing gates. So you might say it's the whole program ... But I'm getting before myself.

Delightfully, the GTE Game seems to be more than a half-assed cobbling together of other brand's technological innovation. Instead, it seems to display a relatively possible way for VW to go itself forward in a fantastic and earth-friendly way, as its a sportier edition of the Tennis GTE multiple marketed in European countries.

The GTE Game functions three generate modes: "E-Mode," "GTE-Mode," or "Hybrid-Mode" — all of which are selectable by roof-mounted changes, like that on a jet-fighter.

In E-Mode, the GTE Game will go 31 kilometers on only one all-electric cost. When battery power stages are exhausted and the car cannot be motivated completely on all-electric power, Hybrid-Mode sneakers in. This shoots up the motor, and it functions like an average multiple, producing power by losing fuel to both drive the car forward and also cost the on board battery power power.

When visited into GTE-Mode, however, it becomes something else completely — something much more threatening. With the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder moving out all 295 horse power, along with the 113-hp motor unit switching the top side side tires and the 113-hp motor unit generating the back tires, the GTE Game becomes an all-wheel generate activities device.

In this method, it makes some amazing figures: 395 horse power, 494 pound-feet of twisting (more twisting than a Corvettes, mind you), as well as an 118-mpge performance ranking and a top rate of 174 mph.

For as good as this all is, unfortunately, it's still just an idea. That said, with VW experiencing a bit of an emergency with its diesel fuel scandal, the product might be willing to give such an attention-grabbing automobile your home mild for manufacturing. Let's wish.
