While we are being ridiculous...

They could just take half the gas tank out, add a small battery pack in it's place, and add an electric assist motor between the engine and firewall good for about +50lbft at the push of a button or something. Regenerate under reverse load/braking. Possibly shift the CG back a percentage point or two. And call it a day.

Or just add a pack to the spare wheel well and give you a patch kit instead.

Edit:. Better yet, add the assist motor to the differential. Greater torque in gears up to 5th I think.
