BTW... anybody look at the interior pic? The dash portion of the center console looks like a ghost's face. That would creep me out.

950lb/ft. Nice. Too bad it is at 1800 rpm.
That's interesting, but w/ all the stats in that article, I was expecting a sasquatch in the trunk.

It's an interesting proposal, but gees, going with a 6.6 with 950 LBS OF TORQUE to push a small convertible seems like overkill. And the styling needs the pen of a pro. That said, I think it looks pretty decent, a very amateurish TVR.
If they can prove it, than great. Too bad it's yet another hypermiler that most people can't afford.

And what's with all those tube things sticking out of the dash under the navi screen?
They look like toggles of some sort.

Very interesting concept. Only issue I can think of from a technical perspective is that the 6.6L duramax motor weighs nearly a thousand pounds IIRC. It's a very heavy motor and the front/rear balance has to be pretty jacked up.

Even without this car, diesels make hybrids worthless. It was a matter of time before someone made a diesel sportscar.
