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.
