    A 40kWh battery on a car that powerful is nuts. There’s no need for all that power but there’s a lot of need for more capacity. I doubt they’ll be particularly successful at that price, considering all their competition will go further, even if slightly less abruptly.

    I not aware of any other PHEV that will theoretically do any where near 93 miles in EV mode. Coming from a racing family I like power, but, with all the extra weight (power to weight ratio) is not all that great as @Glos Guy pointed out. earlier.

     

    I did miss the PHEV bit, I must admit and 40kWh on a PHEV then becomes excessive weight.  Either, do it right and lose the engine altogether or do it right and reduce battery capacity and, thus, excess weight.  That has to be a monster carrying two full power systems.
