turbine efficiency

Maybe this is partly in our future? A turbine-hybrid Jaguar. Of course this one is a super-car, but even with over 700hp it claims to still get over 30mpg. What if the same concept was used in a car that wasn't built so ridiculous???

Turbines can be much more efficient then gas engines and diesel engines. And the advantage of using them for electric generation is that they could be run at optimum efficiency. Hmm, I so hope to drive a turbine-hybrid someday.

Thoughts? Terrible idea? Will see soon? Either way, the jag looks good...
