Capstone Turbine CMT diesel plug-in 380, Los Angeles 2009
Thursday, January 7th, 2010At the Salon of 2009, Los Angeles presented a very special supercar. This is called Capstone Turbine CMT 380 plug-in diesel, and as you say its name has a diesel engine combined with one electric. The body is of GTM Supercar.
But not like any other hybrid car, but this stands out from the rest, primarily because it is a supercar, then that is a pack of lithium-ion batteries, which can be loaded into an outlet, and if staying without power can make use of a 30 kW microturbine equipped in the car to gain electrons. This is capable of running on any fuel, including diesel, biodiesel, etc.
With this engine goes from 0 to 100 km

But this does not mean that these engines have much to offer. The hybrid vehicle is the combination of an internal combustion engine and one electric. There are two types: the so-called parallel (both thermal and the electric motor can spin the wheels) and the series, (the petrol engine generates electricity and traction is provided by the electric motor only).
