Sports Hybrid, Built by Kids, Runs on Soybeans, Zero-to-60 in 4 Seconds - Gizmodo


See, it's this kinda thing that makes one believe in conspiracy price-fixing oil-sucking evil capitalists.

The American Auto Industry couldn't do something like this because why?

Smoke and Mirrors.

Sports Hybrid, Built by Kids, Runs on Soybeans, Zero-to-60 in 4 Seconds - Gizmodo:
"The top auto designers in Detroit have been slam-dunked by a group of high school kids from Philadelphia who built 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. "
