Honda Accord Hybrid Engine - Popular Science
Hybrids tend to be great on gas but timid when the pedal hits the metal. Honda's new Accord Hybrid could make that bad rap history. It's the first on the market in which an electric motor joins forces with a gutsy V6 engine-a marriage arranged as much to boost performance as to improve gas mileage. The horsepower jumps from 240 in the nonhybrid Accord to 255, and the 12-kilowatt electric motor provides more than 200 pound-feet of torque between 1,000 and 6,000 rpm. The V6 even shuts down three cylinders during light driving to further conserve fuel.

Since its introduction as a compact hatchback car in 1976, the Honda Accord has earned widespread acclaim as a leader in smart design, superb quality and world-class efficiency. In its 28-year history, the Accord has constantly re-invented itself, going from the original compact hatchback to today's mid-sized sedan and coupe.
