In creating the vehicle attended a Spanish consortium Quimera, which specializes in the development of self-replicating systems, as well as the British Air Fuel Synthesis, come up with a method of producing synthetic methane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide electrolysis. According to the developers, the boxer turbo supercar will run on synthetic fuels, and the usual gasoline, and the 1000-hp engine will have zero carbon dioxide emissions.
However, it is still far to mass production of these engines, and the prototype, which is a test bed for the development of the technology, is used as a demo car.
