Called the Volta, Ill let the web page speak for its self, not only ultra fast (0-100 kph in 4.03 secs) but economical (700klms out of a tank of fuel) using a petrol 3.3ltr V6 and 2 electric motors.

Toyota's New Supercar

The HSC is going to have to be a real blazer to beat this.

it's just a concept, kinda ugly too

 

[NSX-Racer]

??? Isn't petrol the english word for the german "Diesel"? As far as I can see this concept car has no Diesel engine but gasoline ("Otto" engine), right?

And a top speed of 250 km/h is more than lame for a 400+ hp car.

Petrol is the english word for gasoline. Or rather gasoline is the american word for petrol.

Gas is, though a stupid acronym (IMO) for gasoline, more convenient than pertrol when you need to use expressions like "gas it", the other versions "pet it"/"pe it" truly suck

And the volta, though some people think it is ugly, was shaped, afaik, by the guigari ? folks in italy. Same ones as did the stunning Maserati MC12. I am assuming it looks great from certain angles.

Helloooo McFlyyyyy....

Petrol is short for Petroleum.

to make things even more interesting and confusing, "Gasoil" is a common word used for Diesel fuel in France.

Maybe so, but it looks horrible from other angles. For instance, the bottom picture on site makes it look like an RX-8 crossed with a Pontiac Aztek. Not a good combo.

I'd say it looks good from the front and the rear, but the profile needs work. Reminds me of the dung beetle I saw on TV yesterday while watching the Discovery channel. Its a concept - It will probably get better.
