Couldn't help but think what it would be like to use this motor in a 914.

Toyota Prius, gas electric hybrid, 60 mpg. Not real sporty but the only really efficient vehicle that is in production and being driven daily by a significant number of people (read: Californians). It is said that the trick is how you drive it. You can maximize the relationship between the gas and electric motor and you can achieve the 60 mpg number and better. If you just drive it like you would any other car then you get 30 mpg. It's not the technology, it's the price and profit potential of the big manufacturers.

I'm waiting for the 110 HP, 50 mpg Type-4 / transmission combo I have heard about here.
