I want one.
I'd like to make get a kit car replica of something old but reasonably
aerodynamic, like a Miura or GT40. Or maybe I'll buy the next $1500 Bradley GT I
see. Put a brushless motor at each wheel, and power it with a 15-20hp lawnmower
diesel running a generator, and enough battery or capacitor to give you at least
100 usable horsepower-minutes of storage.
Should hit 125 mpg as easily as a two seat Honda Insight gets 80 mpg.
Mitch.
