Thumbs up Clemsons/Mazda Deep Orange 3 Striking Hybrid

Clemson's Deep Orange 3 A Striking Hybrid Design | EarthTechling

The Deep Orange 3 vehicle, according to Clemson, is a Mazda concept vehicle designed in collaboration with the automotive company. It sports what’s described as a unique hybrid powertrain that automatically chooses front-, rear- or all-wheel drive and consists of a downsized turbocharge 4-cylinder internal combustion engine mated to an electric motor with peak output of 80 kW that all total offers a combined horsepower of 208 hp. The motor is powered by a 2.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack.

Offering drivers a five-speed manual transmission, this hybrid seats six in a unique 3+3 seating configuration. It is capable of a 7.5 second acceleration in the 0 to 60 MPH range. Top speed is set to 125 MPH, and its cruising range is around 350 miles. Those behind this car estimate its EPA fuel consumption ratings to be at 42/49 MPH for city/highway driving.
