2006 Mitsubishi Concept-CT
Enter the Concept-CT: a hybrid-powered small car. This outlandish looking concept could represent (at most) Mitsubishis design direction as customers continuously look for more fuel-efficient alternatives to offset rising fuel prices…
Borrowing a page from the aforementioned heavy industry book, the CTs MIEV (Mitsubishi In-Wheel Electric Vehicle) hybrid system does exactly what its name implies; mounting a small electric motor in each of the CTs 20-inch wheels. Getting their power from lithium batteries charged by the three-cylinder, 67 horsepower gasoline engine thats hooked up to both the rear wheels and a generator via a complex transmission, the electric motors combine with the gasoline engine to produce a grand total of 134 horsepower.

They announced a few months ago that they are going to build by 2010 EV like this one for production. I think they said Japan first. We'll see !!!
