I want one!

Edit: I believe a regular gasoline engine has a thermal efficiency of 25%, if that helps put it in perspective.

...A turbocharged 2-cyl. prototype on display generates 325 hp and 590 lb.-ft. (800 Nm) of torque at 2,000 rpm, yet weighs just 270 lbs. (123 kg)...
Wow...

wonder what are the odds of that kind of engine winding up in tomorrows cars.

It's just a matter of time until you see such advances at the dealer. The sooner the better.
