Well, after reading all the replies so far I want to
weigh in on the 'No to Hybrid' and 'Yes to efficient
Internal Combustion'.

There are a number of motors that can make a real
light car like a Scirocco into a gas sipping dream,
esp w/ the right gearing.

But adding an electric motor and batteries reduces one
of the main points of building, and driving, a
Scirocco in the 1st place; it's nimbleness.

You might as well put that hybrid stuff in a Rabbit
instead where it belongs.
