I don't know. From the way it looks, it's an electric motor attached to the crank pulley and when it kicks in (powered by the battery pack in the trunk) it must be taking some of the load off the engine, allowing it to rev up quicker. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but I find it hard to believe it will take three seconds off of your 0-60 as they claim. It replaces the alternator, acting to recharge the battery pack when you aren't on the throttle, but at an estimated $2800? I'd have to see some good solid dyno numbers and track numbers to back up their claims. They aren't really clear about how it works, and the whole website gave me a feeling that they were trying to put one over on me. They say they will have dynoe results in a few months. If they have this thing up and running on even one car, why not give up some results now? How can they say it works if they haven't tested it and proved it works?

I was wondering the same thing. But if it works, why not. I sure will wait for some dyno results. But it sounds good, aftermarket hybrid. You guys in America are lucky with your gasprices. Here in Holland we pay 3 times more for it.

then use your public transportation, it is after all better than the US's
which is why we need cars so much
