rotary super car....and its NOT the furai
pulled from MSN.com autos
Frazer-Nash Namir by Giugiaro
Proving that eco-friendly supercars don't have to be hideous is this concept, the Frazer-Nash Namir by Giugiaro. Yes, the Frazer-Nash in question is related to that famous British motor-racing marque. The company is now involved in the design, development and manufacture of hybrid systems, and that's what is showcased here. Cloaked in a car designed and built by Giugiaro, the Namir's hybrid drivetrain uses a tiny 814cc rotary combustion engine to provide power to four electric motors. The result is claimed CO2 emissions of less than 60g/km. It also runs from zero to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a 187 mph top speed, potentially making this the fastest hybrid ever.
You all know anything about this at all? I like where they are going with this, using a rotary (high rpms good for generators) to power the electric motors....

Hmmmm, looks 'Stealthy'.
Is is invisible to police radar?
Rotaries are well suited to constant-speed application, like aircraft engines and generators. Fuel efficiency is actually quite good if tuned for specific constant load.
