Turbine-powered supercar

The CMT-380 supercar, which is presently in the design and test phase, was developed in partnership with the chief creative director of Electronic Arts, Richard Hilleman. A prototype of the car is to make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show between 2-13 December this year.

‘The CMT-380’s design performance numbers speak for themselves: 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds, a top speed of 150mph and an unheard-of driving range of up to 500 miles on a single tank of fuel, all with ultra-low exhaust emissions that rival any hybrid on the market today,’ said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s executive vice-president of sales and marketing.

The microturbine-enabled hybrid supercar features a Capstone C30 (30kW) microturbine that runs on diesel or biodiesel, housed inside a sleek Factory Five Racing GTM body. The Capstone C30 microturbine is so clean it does not require any exhaust after treatment to meet the stringent clean air requirements of the California Air Resources Board or EPA 2010.
