Meet Worlds First Plug-in Hybrid with V8 Heart
To an enthusiast, what matters is the engine that can perform, a V6 or V8 engine capable to churn 400bhp irrespective of its harsh environmental effect but what if there's a car capable to match the same performance and at the same time be eco-friendly. Well now, we have the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID. This luxury saloon carries a V8 engine, churns a power of 442hp, peak torque of 650 Nm, capable to touch the 100kmph mark in mere 5.2 seconds but what impresses us is the 65 g CO2/km emissions.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler Board of Management responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development said, "The S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID is the first luxury saloon with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model. The greatest challenge in this is to translate efficiency into superior performance. In this respect there is a highly interesting parallel with our successful Formula 1 racing car, which likewise has a turbocharged V6 engine and a high-tech hybrid drive."
