A series hybrid system featuring an 814cc rotary engine that acts as a generator to charge a 400V lithium-ion battery pack.
Four electric motors (two on each axle), delivering a combined output of roughly 362 horsepower (270 kW)
It claimed a top speed of over 187 mph (300 km/h) and a 0–60 mph acceleration time of 3.5 seconds.
Despite its performance, it was designed for extreme efficiency, with an estimated fuel economy of around 2.6L/100km.
It utilized a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, contributing to a relatively light weight of 1,450 kg for a hybrid vehicle.
Though it was hailed as one of the fastest hybrids of its time, the Namir never entered mass production. However, it gained some pop-culture recognition by appearing as the character Fabrizio in the Pixar movie Cars 2.

It seems like they named it precisely so that Saudi billionaires would buy them.

Would have looked better if not for that widow's peak of a windshield.

I’m alright with it since we never got the Pontiac Banshee.

Really, I like everything about it except the rear. Too flat. Makes it look like a block of cheese
