Henrik Fisker is the man behind the truly outrageous Fisker Karma , a plug-in hybrid that is the current last word in green production cars.
Despite being (like the Chevrolet Volt ) a series hybrid whose four-cylinder gas engine is there just to generate electricity for electric motors, the 100-mpg Karma is a speed demon: Zero to 60 in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 125 mph. It has a claimed 50-mile range in all-electric range, so if you drive less than that you... Read Full Story
The Frazer-Nash Namir hybrid looks hot and can hit a top speed of 300km/h!

Exhibited at the ongoing Geneva Motorshow, the Namir (Arabic for ‘Tiger’) has been built at Italdesign’s design and engineering centre in Turin, Italy. Frazer-Nash (a legendary name in British motoring circles) is now a part... Read Full Story

It seems as though the title of "World's Fastest Hybrid" has become one
of the most sought after bragging rights across the globe. It started
with a battle over fuel efficiency, but then slowly but surely it has
become a race to see who can make the fastest eco-friendly people mover
on the market. It seems as though this kind of competition has brought
about some new contenders as well, in the form of the Giugiaro Frazer
Nash Concept. Read Full Story
The Frazer-Nash Namir by Giugiaro claims to be the world's fastest hybrid. The concept is a collaboration between Italdesign, Giugiaro and Frazer-Nash. The Namir - meaning Tiger - is an ecological vehicle. The hybrid system developed together with Frazer-Nash uses an 814 cc endothermic rotary engine to charge a 400V 108 cell lithium-ion battery pack which in turn drives four electric motors, 2 per axle, that together generate 362bhp (270kW). The Namir accelerates from 0-62mph (100kph) in 3.5... Read Full Story

Frazer Nash has the distinction of being the only British car ever to win the Sicilian Targa Florio. This was in 1951, powered by the Bristol six cylinder overhead valve 1971cc engine, a four speed gearbox, tubular frame, transverse lead independent front suspension, torsion bar rear and live rear axle. With its all-enveloping open two seater body with a grill similar to that of the Le Mans replica, the Targa Florio is a striking post-war classic, always very scarce they are much sought...
