The electric motor is paired with a nickel metal-hydride battery pack fitted beneath the luggage compartment. The 288 volt battery consists of 240 individual cells and offers an energy density of 1.7 kWh. Both systems are capable of running independently or together and when combined, produce a total of 380 horsepower and 428 lbs.-ft. of torque.

What is interesting is why they use the NiMH battery on this hybrid? Why not lithium-ion battery? I admit I am kinda disappointed.

could they really not have just put a CVT in it???

I mean seriously, 8 gears, thats a bit ridiculous.
