Wink The launch of Jaguar hybrid (worth seeing?)

From 2.7 V8 to 5.0 V8 to be launched next year. Is it the perfect engine?

See the full story at: Autocar - Hybrid blitz for Jaguar/Land Rover

The car look good. But the engine size I think makes it a problem in fuel consumption.

It is nice to see some more sporty/ luxury hybrids coming to the market.

I am curious though how much the mpg will be improved.

The car looks good but the fuel economy is questionable. Even if ti is hybrid, the engine is too big to consume more fuel.

Yes, it looks very attractive and luxurious car. But mileage is one of the most important characterstics to consider, so the success depends on it.
