wow. 50mpg 600bhp car. if toyota can pull that off...kudos to them!!

but then again...this could be another april fools joke

People who can afford those things generally don't care about mileage, so it's rather futile.

Those people also recycle, and give to charity, and they don't have to.

I don't get how the 400 hp gas engine + the 200hp electric engine means the car has 600hp, I thought that you only used one at a time?

HP is torque*rpm. what's the torque curve for electric motor at higher rpm?

electric motors have constant torque.... (up to the "redline" per specs)

here

A typical DC drive or AC drive will develop a constant torque from zero
speed to motor rated base speed. In that range the DC motor is
controlled by a linear increase in the armature voltage from zero to the
motor rated voltage. The AC drive will maintain a constant volts per hertz
ratio as both voltage and hertz are raised from zero volts at zero hertz to
motor rated voltage at rated hertz
