This has been knocking about for a while now. About a year ago, they also had an prototype engine that you could run on literally any flammable liquid.

That is amazing surely that much power from such a small engine means it isn't gonna last very long? (blow up)

Just me that really doesn't like it?
I mean fair play to the guys who made it and got 500bhp out of a 1.6turbo ( co-made with Williams so nexts years f1 engine then?) ![[Image: IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg]](http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww278/4WayDiablo/IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg)
Isn't this like the third incarnation? They're dragging it out a bit aren't they, first saw pics of it a couple of years ago. Was incredible when they first started waving it about, by the time they release it everyone else is going to be 10 years on lol.
As piggy says, was turbine-driven to begin with, or at least the generator was, all-electric power at the wheels. |
