Yep, breaking news, the BBC TV show "Top Gear" has produced a prototype "Hybrid" car, and here is an independant test done by a well respected UK Motoring magazine.........

Thanks for the link Camus.
Vehicle appears to be extensively improvised.

This car went from concept to reality in only 18 hours, I wasn't expecting it to look as good as it does to be quite honest. I can't say it looks like it would actually be road worthy but it's fun to see what can be done so quickly.
I don't think I would have gone with resin patio chairs as first choice for seating, looks a little dangerous. :shock:

The vehicle is believe it or not, actually roadworthy.............

However, please remember that the project follows the programs tradition of being, well rather silly, but it does make good entertainment :lol:

the most notable acheivment by them was to drive a modified Toyota 4X4 pickuptruck to the North Pole, and made it into the record books as a result, viz

I'd say the most notable is when the hamster tried to burrow underground. :doh:

Also notable are the invincible Hilux and the Polar Special, along with their Alabama Adventure. :lol:
