Fisker -- What ??

Ok, I know Fisker is planning to release a hybrid electric vehicle and I saw their presentation at the June 23 NHTSA hearing. Within 5 minutes, I knew it was time to take a break and they were still talking when I got back. But then this "The 2.0 direct injection, turbo-charged 4-cylinder Ecotec gasoline engine will deliver 260 horsepower." does not make a lick of sense.
I'm sorry but when something sounds too good to be true, it generally is.
