Hi all!! My name is George, new to this forum and I own a red 2008 mps3. Still in love with my car...;-) Living in the Netherlands and like to go to the German autobahn once in a while. Here in The Netherlands it is not possible to use it the way it should be used....:-( Lately I am playing with the idea, whether it would be possible to make it my mps3 into a hybrid?? Because the rear wheels are not part of the drive train, in theory, it would be possible to fit a electromotor on the rear wheels?? On youtube you can find a lot of videos converting a normal car into a full electric car. The motor is ussually connected to the gearbox...:-? Not saying that I will do it but am just playing with the idea and see what would be possible... I think it would be fantastic to have a hybrid mps3...:-) Greetz, George

Welcome
Sounds an interesting plan but I have no idea if possible and what it would cost.
I thought electric would cost a small fortune though with batteries etc.

 to the forum! Good idea but It would be an expensive conversion I would think.

Anything is possible but at big cost I'd imagine, and it'd add some serious weight.

Welcome along, the electric idea sounds good in theory, but I don't think it would be a cost effective thing to do.
