The HVS is a lightweight sports car that reconciles environmentally friendly performance with the driving pleasure.
It combines a 1.5-litre engine and an advanced electrically operated 4WD hybrid system to draw out the potential of hybrid technology.
The result is a powerful and exhilarating drive reminiscent of a 2-litre car but with fuel economy exceeding that of a conventional 1-litre car.
The rear electric motor transmits power via a drive-control mechanism that drives the left and right wheels separately for increased stability during high-speed cornering.
