But this is some Jettiness - jet driving electric Supercar!
A jet powered electric supercar?
Capstone Turbine unleashes their Super car - the CMT-350. Details:
CMT-380, a high performance hybrid electric supercar powered by traditional batteries and an untraditional ultra low emission range extending microturbine, which is essentially like having an ultra-clean and quiet jet engine under the hood. The supercar, which is in the design and test phase, was developed in partnership with Electronic Arts Chief Creative Director Richard Hilleman
"The CMT-380's design performance numbers speak for themselves:
- 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds
- 150 mph top speed
- driving range of up to 500 miles on a single tank of fuel,
- ultra-low exhaust emissions
- lithium-polymer battery cells
- operate on 100 percent battery power in zero emissions mode for a range of up to 80 miles
- Capstone C30 (30-kilowatt) microturbine that runs on diesel or biodiesel
What is a Microturbine?
The CMT-380's 30-kilowatt microturbine features an electric generator and turbine components mounted on a single shaft, which is supported by air bearings -- so there are no liquids to lubricate or cool the microturbine. It uses a patented combustion system to achieve extremely low exhaust emissions that do not require expensive exhaust after treatm.
