Velozzi Solo - Crossover Hybrid Electric Vehicle

The Velozzi vehicles will be the first production cars to utilize carbon fiber nano tubes, which can increase the mechanical properties of the components by 40%, improving the parts’ performance while reducing weight. Most of the materials applied in the Velozzi cars construction are reusable, which decreases the Velozzi vehicles carbon footprint.
The Velozzi super car and the SOLO will use a multi fuel micro turbine battery charger to re-charge their bed of super capacitors and Lithium ion batteries.
Velozzi SupercarThe Velozzi cars are Plug-in Multi fuel Hybrid Electric vehicles: they are powered by a combination of lithium ion batteries and super capacitors, which in turn, are recharged by an on-board multi fuel micro turbine battery charger or by the electrical grid.
Some of the fuels that could be used by the Velozzi vehicles include gasoline, diesel, ethanol, methanol, butanol, biodiesel and natural gas to mentioned a few.
The vehicles will also have the ability to reverse its polarity and serve as a power generator, able to power equipment and even a home if necessary.
Regenerative braking will capture kinetic energy when slowing the vehicles improving its range. Embedded computers, operating transparently to the user, will control all functions.
The driving experience will be identical to a gas power vehicle. The SOLO will reach 100 MPG, 0 to 60 MPH in the 6 Sec and top speed of 130 MPH.

    But not all at the same time.

  5. Amazing idea. Other than the costs, I wonder what is keeping this from being mass produced?
