Diesel Turbine-Electric Hybrid Car
Originally a stock 1986 RX-7 GXL with a naturally-aspirated 13B rotary engine, this vehicle was converted to a plug-in diesel-electric hybrid. Powered by a 190kW (254hp) nominal DC electric motor, 25kWh battery pack, and capable of charging via 110V and 220V Level 2 charging stations, it has an all-electric range of up to 80 miles. Range extension is provided by a 15kW gas-turbine engine running on diesel, providing power generation and extending driving range by up to 300 miles per tank.
Thank you to Jalopnik for covering our car! Read about it at the 2017 Radwood Car Show here.
