This is an amazing achievment, although there is a massive difference between making a one off and getting this to a production line. Is it easy enough to make, what’s the total cost, will growing enough Soybeans do more damage than petrol, is it reliable, and so on.
Why aren’t more auto makers experimenting with this sort of thing in public. We should have concept cars running off all sorts of freaky fuels by now.
the K-1 Attack Hybrid, a sports car that gets 50 miles per gallon and can go from zero to 60 in four seconds. During auto shop class, the group took a Honda Accord chassis, a Volkswagen turbo diesel engine and a 200hp electric motor, and put together a hybrid electric/biomass car that runs on soybeans. Now the car has won a race and is getting big-time press coverage all over the U.S.
The kicker? It beats the gas mileage/performance ratio of any production vehicle on the market today.
