I found out about this through a business associate who, through other circumstances, heard about this car. They are sending the car out Monday morning on its "non-stop" trip from Nashville to California and will keep the trip updated on the site so we will see what happens. I understand the issues with the laws of physics here and every now and then someone comes along and claims they can do something like this. History is replete with such claims of getting equal or more out than what is put in.

This is absolute unmitigated bullshit. It's for prising money from gullible people's hands. Basically this guy is claiming he has developed a system which delivers more energy out than you put in. This violates the most principle law of physics.... I think he's dropped a fo big motor, and hidden enough batteries in the car to make it drive for a while. And FWIW 130hp from an engine is just shy of 100kW from an electric motor - and one thing's for certain - that motor ain't 100kW! Engines have a MUCH better power-to-weight ratio than a motor, BUT a motor delivers maximum torque at stall and for this reason can deliver vastly superior accelleration than a petrol engine of the same weight. Hence the "demonstrations" probably did surprise a lot of people. It's also a shame they picked such a neat looking D.
