Volkswagen Bio Runner

Automobiles

The Volkswagen Bio Runner is a concept car that Volkswagen presented at the October 2008 LA Design Challenge. It is powered by dual turbine engines running at 500,000 rpm and uses synthetic bio jet fuel. When visibility is limited for the driver it uses video support from an aerial reconnaissance drone, and it may also be transported by a support team helicopter. The vehicle was designed for a future 2025 Baja 1000 race, for the recommended One Tank Unlimited Solo class, a race in which the driver may carry only one 10-gallon fuel tank and must drive solo.
