Thumbs up

I just love it when new technology is developed for gas engines! I'm sure you all have read about this great engine idea too:

Until there is a better battery out there these ideas are the way to go. Also the Audi/VW direct injection gas engines are cool too, and that engine has proven itself in ALMS racing!!!

World will be pretty boring place until somebody invents portable fusion generator and decent way to get off this planet

If there was new energy source, world would not be the same.

Did anyone notice the claim on Saab's site about building the "first ... turbo engine for everyday use" in the little pop-up description of the SVC ?

Hmmmm, isn't selective memory and careful wording fun !
