Even before the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, there was the 1980 Briggs & Stratton Hybrid concept car. This company was a famous builder of small engines for everything from washing machines to lawn mowers. However, this vehicle wasn’t built for speed, as Richard Petty managed to only hit 68 mph on a closed course, while Briggs & Stratton Engineering Technician Craig Claerbout achieved 60 mph. All things considered, this isn’t half bad for an twin-cylinder Briggs engine producing just 18hp.
It boasts a parallel hybrid design that enables it to run solely on the gas engine, the electric motor, or a combination of both. You’ll find xix 12-volt batteries out back that give this hybrid an electric-only range of around 50 miles. Now all of the car was built from the ground up, since the front suspension, steering, and transmission are sourced from a Pinto. A first-generation Scirocco donated the doors, dash, and windshield.
