According to official sources, the environment-friendly car gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine and an additional electric motor per axle. Working together, these shall output 335 HP at 520 Nm torque, allowing the WEY P8 PHEV to accelerate 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 6.5 seconds. Electric motors will be sufficient for 50 km / 31 mi traveling distance. One notable feature of the car is that it only takes 4 hours for it to charge from a regular wall socket.
