Imperia Bringing Plug-In Hybrid With Style To The Green Auto Scene

Tweet

With the green initiative picking up speed inside the car market, hybrids and electric vehicles have never been more popular. The easiest way to tell just how popular hybrid vehicles are is the number of automakers who are jumping feet first into the field.

Belgian automaker Imperia has jumped in with a hybrid plug-in vehicle that will sure put cars like the leaf to shame for no other reason than the fact that this particular hybrid actually looks like it belongs on the Autobahn. The Imperia GP has a 212 horsepower engine paired up with a 134 horsepowered electric engine. That means this particular plug-in hybrid can go 45 miles on a single charge. More importantly the GP can go from 0-60 in about four seconds so those riding in it will never have to know they are actually helping the environment.

Of course all of this depends on the car actually hitting the market. While a concept model was revealed at the Brussels auto show, Imperia has given no indication of when someone can buy the car.
