The prototype of tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov's hybrid car will be shown to the public in early January, project director Alexander Sinkevich said on Monday.

The car will be on display in Prokhorov's Onexim Group office in downtown Moscow on January 2-12 next year.

Prokhorov wants to roll the new automobile off the production lines by 2012. With a price tag of less than $10,000, it will be powered by a combined electric and gasoline engine with low fuel consumption.

"Three types of the car body will be presented - the hatchback, cross-coupe, and minivan," Sinkevich told RIA Novosti.

Journalists, officials and specialists will be able to see the car as early as December, he added.

The car will be produced by the City Car Company, in which Onexim Group holds a 49% stake. The other 51% is owned by the St. Petersburg-based Yarovit Motors.
