First Hybrid - 1973 Rotary Buick Skylark Prototype

Amazing how many times the rotary engine has come CLOSE to breaking out only to get snipped by one random thing or another.
They decided to use the Skylark, provided by General Motors and likely built in Flint, as there was plenty of room under the hood for additional equipment -- namely, eight heavy-duty police-car batteries, a 20-kilowatt DC electric motor and a Mazda RX-2 rotary engine.

Huge hole is huge
Stupid government, canning this because they don't think it will be viable. I wonder what that guy is thinking today...? I'd be kicking my *** so hard I'd be feeling it a week later.
