Onneksi jotkut valmistajat kehittävät voimalinjaa niin, että edessä on sähköveto ja takana Woimaveto:
With the eDrive button pressed, 100 % electric driving is possible in the BMW i8, with power coming via the front axle only. The hybrid mode allows the intelligent combination of two types of drive that provide optimal traction in every situation. The electric drive is located on the front axle, while a high-performance 3-cylinder engine works at the rear axle. All four wheels can thus be powered simultaneously by two engines, and – depending on the driving situation – this utilises the advantages of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Outside the city, the fully-fledged all-wheel drive of the BMW i8 shows its true strength – at speeds of up to 250 km/h.
Tämä siis vain siinä mielessä todettua, että ei se etuvetoisuus ole pakollista edes tässä leiskassa.
