Russian Revolutionary Hybrid car
The Russians are to sell at the end of the year a new range of 100% elecric
drive cars using a revolutionary new rotary toroidal "vane" engine" - some cars will be made in Germany. Some crank in the USA said he invented it. He never. I "believe" the battery pack is small for the car so nearly always runs on the engine. The engine only turns a genny. A dissapointing 67mpg (US). I seems cheap to buy. so I will get my cheque book out: http://pesn.com/2011/04/23/9501814_R...ign_its_ own/ |

It is 15 kilos (the weight of the engine) for 30 kilowatts output. 1/4 to 1/3 the size and weight of an normal engine. Amazing power/weight ratio. The battery is small and only gives 2 km range. A bigger battery would have given the car greater mpg. BTW, it is about 75mpg UK. Nothing comes close to it and it is quiet and a dream to drive with a seamless electric transmission - no silly gearbox. This is a breakthrough. It only took Russian engineers 6 months get the design right. While everyone else is looking at their navels. Further R&d will get it more efficient. |

You still haven't worked out that if the engine charges the battery that having a bigger battery makes mpg less? Big batteries only make more mpg if you start with them charged and don't use the engine until they are flat. Then you finish the test and claim really good mpg. This is a breakthrough. It only took Russian engineers 6 months get the design right. So it hasn't been tested yet. While everyone else is looking at their navels. Further R&d will get it more efficient. |

You still haven't worked out that if the engine charges the battery that having a bigger battery makes mpg less? Big batteries only make more mpg if you start with them charged and don't use the engine until they are flat. Then you finish the test and claim really good mpg. This car has only a range of 2 km on battery. The batteries in hybrids claw back kinetic braking energy, and also take charge for surplus power. That is the Prius can get 75mpg. Those chargeable from the mains as well can get more mpg of course, and overall cheaper running. This is a breakthrough. It only took Russian engineers 6 months get the design right. So it hasn't been tested yet. It has - even Putin drove it. They are arranging manufacturing. They took order a few weeks back and got 55,000 immediately. They only planned 50,000 in the first year. They can get production up fast because thee battery is small. The problem with hybrids and EVs is getting the batteries. Thank you Dennis for your valuable input. |

And despite all the rubbish spoken about them, theyre an ok no frills car. Vehicle design has moved on for sure, they were fairly good in their day, now they're just an almost half century old design that's still being made, and the lack of ongoing development gives them a correspondingly low price.

Have you actually had one and compared it to a Fiat 124? Yes the bodyshell is the same but that's about it. The front suspension is completely different as is the engine and gearbox. It's easier to list the things that are the same rather than the differences. |

Getting better. One version also can run on natural gas and petrol. |

Downhill with the engine switched off? I "think" There's no evidence for that, You are a known knob. The claims are for 71mpg imp, but yet fully tested. Please continue with your knobness. |

The link you posted shows the CGI of the engine, and a picture of Putin standing by the car. Going through a few layers of links in Russian and intranslation, he's seen driving a car with a similar body design for about ten seconds that sounds like any other small car. It's a good, solid clunk when he closes the door, though. That's important, it means it's a quality vehicle. No pictures of the engine *in that car*. Why didn't *you* link directly to the test drive? Or give a link to the sales website, as one of the links in the chain I followed says that it was going to be available to order since June last year. More Russian Vapourware. -- Tciao for Now!

I could have linked to the Moon, but you got there in the end. The Ruskies have not ripped off a USA design. The first attempt at this was in 1910. BSA, had a prototype in 1955. More Russian Vapourware. Tell me where they are telling lies? |
