A new hybrid sports car, Kepler Motion

Environmentally friendly alternatives are making a strong impact across the industry, and one of the best current examples comes from the North American manufacturer Kepler Motors.

According to the company, its hybrid sports car called Motion uses a unique traction system in which the front wheels are driven by an electric motor producing 250 horsepower while the rear wheels receive 550 horsepower from a 3.5L V6 Ford EcoBoost Twin Turbo.

Together, the combined output of 800 CV allows the sports car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 322 km/h.

Other features that make it particularly interesting include its carbon fiber-based chassis, active suspension, active aerodynamic system, auxiliary route-programming system, and the new ceramic brake technology developed by StopTech.

The American company plans to build 50 units, which will go on sale starting in 2011, and as a small preview for potential customers, it is presenting a prototype at the Dubai Motor Show.
