It is (at least)100mpg technology....but currently unvailable to the American general public.
Money has been spent elsewhere. Things like fruity Tang, and global internet data transfer at sub-$.01/GB actual cost, is currently available... Nicolai Tesla thought it should be free. |

The 918 will be like the 959 - an R&D platform that a few people can buy. And, like the 959 and Chevy Volt, it will be a historic platform for future vehicle development. |

right now, they need the V-8 to get that 770 hp they will also want to build some high mileage or pure EVs or Volt-like EVs to get their CAFE numbers righteous -- so, wait a while and see what they do first up will be the new small sports car, shared with VW, maybe Audi -- you can ook at my small roadster thread to see how I feel about being able to buy a small, light wt. roadster... Absolutely: "This is an amazing piece of technology coming to reality and it's great." Last edited by RWebb; 03-20-2012 at 12:18 PM.. |
