Thanks Scott for confirming what other sources have said as well. Last year when I was able to spend sometime with the VED I was told that in about a year the drivetrain would be complete as the actual car was easy to build in concept form compared to the vetted drivetrain.
At that time the VED was powered by a single small electric motor for show purposes. This new diesel hybrid system will cost a pretty penny but it will reach new levels of performance- and by performance we need to break the mindset of 0-60 mph and make it 60+ mpg!
I wish I could see the working car but I will be in Atlanta for some ALMS racing!
