Mullen Motors has partnered with Hybrid Technologies to create a Hybrid that has been rated as the seventh fastest American production car by Forbes magazine.
The GT with its combination of style, handling and performance makes it one of the most outstanding cars produced in the world today. Fitted with the Corvette LS 2 V-8 it has 400HP wgich takes it from 0-60mph in just over 3 seconds and its top speed is 180mph. The wheel base of the GT is 94" and it weighs approximately 2000 pounds.
The GT can be powered by a variety of engines ranging from in-line 4 cylinders to V-6 rotary or various V-8s. The GT is also available with a carbon fiber body. This reduces the weight to approximately 1900 pounds.
Base price for this beast will only be a mere $70,000 USD. Not bad considering what you get. Hybrid will be taking orders for the carbon fiber supercar at the 2006 New York International Auto Show in April. The Lithium Carbon Fiber supercar model is estimated to retail at approximately $124,900 USD.

I assume the smaller engines will get better gas mileage. 26 MPG is great though for 400 HP. The best I have pulled out of my 210 HP mustang is 25 MPG on the freeway.

Before everyone gets too excited about this vehicle, please note that it is slightly shorter than a Mini Cooper. This particular shot of it image makes it look MUCH longer than it really is. From the side, it looks almost toy-like (detractors say “clown-car” like, proponents say “Lotus Elise-like”). Here is a shot from the side…
