When I wrote a piece on the Ferrari/McLaren/Porsche hybrid supercar trio, I said the technology was going to trickle down into smaller and cheaper performance cars. Of course, Honda is going to jump the gun a little bit and is already developing the new NSX as a hybrid, but that's not all.
According to a report from motoring.com.au, the new Jazz / Fit will have a hardcore Type R model. Instead of going the turbo route to get more power, this will reportedly have a hybridized 1.5-liter engine with total output of 190 hp.
The drivetrain will also include a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which will enable the model to return 3.6L/100km if you're really careful with the throttle.
