Love the concept of that car. The next level of Chevy Volt, I guess.

I don't see why a simple piston, biofuel / diesel engine couldn't do the same job as a super expensive turbine (admittedly at more weight).

What batteries in that? For 700k, I hope they're liquid nitrogen cooled lithium batteries.

I want to build an electric Jeep along this concept.

Lots of these body types still running around in Cuba
