WishList: 2008 Jeep Renegade Concept

Some concept vehicles are outrageous and others just seem to work. We think that the 2008 Jeep Renegade Concept should make it to market. Looking very much like a modern day dune buggy, this two-seater roofless Jeep offers a unique set of two electric motors, each making 200 kW (268 hp). The motors can drive the Renegade for 64 kilometers before their batteries need to be recharged, a task accomplished by a 1.5-liter, 115-hp Bluetec 3-cylinder diesel engine. 4-wheel drive, and off-roading capabilities are enhanced with a 110 mpg, along with a top speed of 90 mph and a range of 400 miles. Now that Chrysler is more profitable, maybe we'll see something happen.
