Honda HEV uses 2 motors to control rear wheels separately

I can just imagine executives from lesser established motor companies take a look at Honda's HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) which sports an engine (obviously), a motor in front, as well as two motors in the rear segment that will control the back wheels separately, and ask themselves, “What kind of sorcery is this?” Well, the whole idea of doing so is to realize a performance equivalent to that of a V8 engine while achieving a fuel efficiency that is roughly the equal of an in-line four-cylinder engine – talk about attempting to gain the best of both worlds.
