While poking around Finkbuilt, I came across this stillborn sibling to the EV1: "GM's new Pinto-Vega-looking XP-883 hybrid-drive commuter car," as seen in the pages of Popular Science circa 1969.
Popular Science offers these famous last words:
It's the best low-emission small car proposed yet, and has both a gasoline and an electric motor.
With all-independent suspension, front-wheel drive, a low center of gravity, and wide track (49 inches), the XP883 should be great fun to drive. But whether, and when, you'll drive one is something that the GM chiefs haven't made up their minds about yet.
Screenshots of the article appear after the flip.
