0-60 in 4.5 is quick but not as quick as I would have guessed for 640hp and all wheel drive. I don't think I want ot know how much that thing weighs. Still I would love to get that kind of mileage out of a car with that kind of power.

i dont think the HP number is accurate.  hybrid power ratings are not simply found by adding the numbers together.  650hp in an awd mini should be much much faster.  it should make decent power to the wheels, but i would like to see it on a roller.  still amazing, dont get me wrong.
