Interesting. It is dyed red?

I see an MFI pump up front looks similar to the one on my 911.

red dye means if off road use only , no excise taxes paid on it. Used to manage a farm for my in-laws we had two tanks, one (red dye) for tractors and the other one for pickups that we paid all the taxes on. Don't get caught in CA with red dye diesel in an on road vehicle. Highway patrol can hold vehicle until taxes paid plus you get a fine. Or they let you go and you have to see the nice person at the local court to settle up. Commercial Highway patrol officers would check your fuel tanks as part of the inspection

It is an E24 body style BMW 6 series, looks to have some M6 pieces on it.

It's red, so techinically it's heating oil (diesel w/o the taxes).

blurry spy photo type pic of the Toyota 1/X engineering design study for a next generation hyper-car

monocoque body shell made of CF and weighing just 926 lbs. (TOTAL) for a plug-in hybrid

they say they can cut the wt. to 880 lbs. if it is made as a conventional hybrid

108 mpg (Euro test cycle)

the flex-fuel backup motor fits under the rear seat
