Now this will shut those tree hugger up!


SSC is coming out with a new hybrid supercar (lol toyota) that features a breakthrough drive train that will- get this - require charging only every couple of years. You might literally forget where the refilling station is.

Now you can easily pass this off as fluff, especially because this manufacturer is not known in the mainstream, but they make good supercars from 1337 engineering skillz.
Whether they come out with a car that actually does exactly what they say it would, doesn't concern me too much.
The fact that a company that has been so stubbornly private-owned, has opened itself up to very selective exterior capital funding just so that it could come up with this drivetrain and put itself on the line just for this car makes it all that much more probable.

Really, if they fail at making this drive train, or just don't attempt to make it, they're going to disappear either way
