You know what would be ideal, a PHEV performance car. One that has a V8, manual power to rear wheels and an electric motor driving the front wheels. The ability to turn off the electric power and just have pure RWD. Be able to drive 40kms on electric power alone, and a snow/winter/wet setting where it makes the car AWD (but RWD biased).
Of course if I am dreaming I'd like at least 400HP from the V8 and 200HP from the electric motor. It would weigh less than 4,000lbs, have hydraulic steering, and be less than $80,000.
Is that to much to ask for?
