...yes! And to save wasting any residual energy created by the petrol engine it could be connected to the road wheels via some reduction gears and assist the electric motor in propelling the car.

A Chevy LS7 should be able to drive an alternator and have a little left over to help with overtaking, shouldn't it?

Wow, how Green would that be?
