220 MPG Supercar in the Progress
Hybrid Technologies is operating on a latest supercar utilizing gas-elecric hybrid engine and that is believed to hit 220mpg-min.
This car is designed for the Automotive X prize and will be created in 2-different editions: an all electric for production and a gas electric hybrid entrant for the contest. They will reveal a prototype edition in Sept.
We’re looking for this car basically to end up mainstream—not just built for a one-and-done. The X Prize car is going to be the purchasable—obviously a higher-end car, but there might be something else from us in the X Prize.
- Mr. Ron Cerven (project development engineer) said.
The fully electric model is objecting for 150 to 180 mi. range/charge. The upcoming supercar will have the similar performance as a Corvette ZR1.
The production edition will be revealed in late 2009.
