this HOAX begins in 2007 and

..."A modern version of that system, using a free-piston 2cyl diesel to pump, with regenerative braking, gives 0-60 @-5 sec and 130+mpg in a 5 passenger vehicle in the Honda Accord size range. There is a good website describing this auto & its' drive system. Look up Valentin Technologies & XPrize cars."....

key word is allegedly ...

this particular
hoax
begins in 2007 , and the world is so impressed that no one has (yet) put up the 3.8 million dollars that would (allegedly) be used to manufacture the
FIRST and ONLY
functional prototype ....

the only thing that is lacking is
credibility
