    Fastest car currently on the scheme appears to be the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid 300.

    300BHP.

    0 – 60 – 6.1 seconds.

    Top speed: 149mph.

    The top speed is irrelevant (never go that speed in anything… let alone a 2,000kg SUV), but that’s an impressive 0-60 time. There’s some vids on Youtube and it has some pull.

    As for the car itself, I’ve been on Peugeot forums and have heard many bad things about it. Mainly to do with the electric motor. It should boost your mpg but most people are only getting 5 or 6 miles out of it before the engine kicks in. Kinda defeats the purpose of a Hybrid. One guy said he’s been in and out of the dealership since he got it. Software update after software update. Hybrids are sketchy. Full ICE or full electric for me.
