F700 Concept.
The concept's DiesOtto prototype unit, say its engineers, offers the torque and fuel consumption of a diesel, with the power and emissions quality of gas. Despite its small size of 1.8 liters, it can deliver 238 hp of power. That's more than a standard 3.5-liter V-6 gas engine or a 3.0-liter V-6 diesel. The electric hybrid motors add another 20 horsepower. All told, the drivetrain could propel the F700 to 62 mph in about 7.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of more than 120 mph - more than useful power, though not quite SLR-speedy.

It's a 1.8-liter four that rivals the efficiency of a diesel but runs on gas. It also addresses the all-important CO2 emissions head-on, with a rating of just 127 grams per kilometer or about 44.3 mpg.
Thats incredible mileage for a car that size. I'm really interested to see the efficiency that engines will attain in the next decade.
I may get hung out to dry for this, but I also think this car looks cool-
at least its quite different!
