Insight beat the Prius to the mass market by a few months and it was the first successful hybrid. I think.
 
as far as I heard, the Insight's were, at least, originally electric powered. I remain with my guesses
 
They have a 12-valve L3 engine. Along with a electric motor.
 
then what was the electric car that came out i the early-mid 90's with nothing more than electric?
 
Yes the Insight is right FilthyFish. Technically The Alien got to it before you but he's banned now :lol: so it's Filthys turn.

BTW good answer Toronado, I've never heard of that car before. You must have an awesome knowledge of cars.
 
What was the first production car to use "fiberglass monocoque" construction.
 
I love the knowledge that is flowing through this place. You got it, your go hscott. I’m going to stump you guys! :sly: Just wait, the next one I get, im going to scour the ends of the earth, before the correct answer comes in 1 or 2 posts!

Glad to see this thread didn’t die!

Who can tell me what car fetured the first production V-16?

1932 Ford?

Something way different?
 
Cadillac or Peerless.
 
Nope, it was a small company, and the car was made in 1904.
 
1904 Rolls-Royce Legalimit. There wasn't an American V8 for the next ten years, when Cadillac did one.

Nope, I own many books on many different automotive subjects (the answer to this question came out of a section of an encyclopedia of internal combustion engines). For example, ask me anything about the original Volkswagen Beetle.

It was the same car the Al Capone drove, 1937 Cadillac Roadster V-16(click for more info)

It was the only car that could outrun the cops at the time.

Right. 👍
 
Im not trying to be a ball buster, but, please stick to the "get a question correct, post up a new question" format. This is a little confusing. :D
 
OK, lets straighten things out.

Whoever that answered the V8 question, go please. Not the V16 one.

Side note: There were a few thousand Caddy Sixteens produced in the '30s, as custom order.
