Back when VW was still developing the "new beetle," one of the proposals I
read was that it might be a diesel-ev hybrid. I think they meant a true
(plug-in) hybrid, but I'm not 100% sure.
This would have been 1994 or 1995. Toyota released its first generation
Prius in 1997.
VW veered off course with this proposal and ended up making it a rebodied
ICE Golf.
