No waiting for 2050 here. And this comes just after they said they'll accept liability for autonomous car crashes.

400 horsepower 2.0 liter turbo engine? That has to be an error or typo...

Check out their plug-in hybrid SUV:

400hp dual-charged engine (supercharged and turbocharged) oh and 472lb-ft from 2200-5400rpm

It also has some auto-drive capabilities from zero to 40mph on top of parallel parking.

Lots of hybrids will be available in 2020, then.
