That&#8217;s pretty impressive considering it&#8217;s 2394kg kerb weight.<\/p>\n<p>On the note of weight, the entire hybrid system including the batteries adds less than 120kg to the cars&#8217; weight. That is all irrelevant until you hear it only weighs 22kg more than the Range Rover Sport Hybrid.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is, this car wasn&#8217;t made to do 0-60mph in 0.1 seconds, but engineered for inter-continent commutes.
