Wow: Will Jaguar Have the First Hybrid Born From Jet Turbines? - Green Car Reports

That's the kind of electric vehicle I want. A Jet engine is smooth and much better suited to working in tandem with electric vehicles. It would also be capable of turning out energy much more efficiently than a traditional piston motor. That would mean you could turn the power up on the electric motor and let it use more electricity to power the wheels. New Jaguar XJ220 anyone?

Looks like Rover's 100 + years of history are counting for something against the big boys. Where's Toyota's Jet engined EV and why didn't GM think of that in their Chevrolet Volt?
