Would you pay for a sporty car/hatchback with 200hp and 60mpg? How much would you be willing to pay for it? How far off do you think something like this would be (Non-hybrid) ---

Wasn’t BMW developing a turbo 3 cylinder around 180hp? And what about the VW bluesport(iirc) roadster? I thought that was supposed to be around 50-60mpg. That’s what I think of when I imagine 200hp/60mpg ---

i would pay 40 to 50k for it, and i believe it’s never coming, hybrid tech and hydrogen tech are becoming a better option to get the mpg’s that most companies will drop fuel motor only options [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/200hp-and-60mpg/264916.md?page=2)
