Its powered by a 122 hp diesel engine (who needs 122 hp?) and a 82 hp electric motor. The electric motor is used for primary power. The Twin Drive Golf should be able to squeeze out about 30 miles from its Li-Ion batteries. VW plans to introduce the Golf TDI Hybrid with NiMH batteries (note: no plug-in option!) in 2009. Please note that other sources only state that 20 Twin Drive Golf's are being tested in 2010 and no plans exist for any production at this point. [a bit of a yawn]

There is (and will be in the next year) no green way, to move cars, that have such a high weight or bad air resistance, that someone even thinks about more than 50 hp!
