I thought that Turbines traditionally get horrible economy.

16 gallon tank, 68 miles on electric only. So that is 560 - 68 = 492 miles with the turbines spinning / by 16/gal tank = 30.75mpg, and I would assume that this would be using the hwy estimated mileage that will be on the EPA sticker.
All those engines make 780 horsepower and 1179 torques
I would say that they went a little over board though. Each electric motor weights 110lbs. So x4 that is 440lbs in electric motors. Then you have to figure in the twin turbines, weight of the diesel and the batteries. All that just for the engines + fuel.

0 to 200 in 17.5 seconds.
I'd love to have one of these things though for sures! [thumbup]
