200 MPG Velozzi Micro-Turbine Electric Hybrid
Posted by Mr.Green under: Best Hybrid Cars .
Velozzi claims that their first working model indicates a 0-60 time of 3 seconds and 200 mph top speed and also anywhere from 100 - 200 MPG in normal driving conditions! All I can say is WOW! Can you imagine 200 MPG!
The key to this super efficient hybrid supercar is the micro-turbine. The super efficient engine is designed to run on any “heavy” fuel - such as diesel, gasoline, biodiesel, or ethanol. The micro-turbine acts as an onboard generator to charge the batteries. To keep the vehicle as light as possible, the makers uses space age polymers and composites, along with super-light lithium ion batteries.
I can’t wait to see this baby on the road!

Micro-Turbine electric vehicles WILL be the personal transportation solution of the future. The primary challenges facing widespread usage will come from regulatory interference by the oil companies who oppose conservation. This technology should be introduced in countries where these controlling interests are not strongly represented in government. Consolidated financial interests will win unless we find a way to unite the public with strong leadership from well placed people of conviction and moral integrity.
