A specification for a passenger vehicle made of ultra-light materials, is aerodynamically streamlined (for low drag), and uses a hybrid-electric drive system. Regenerative design (such as in hybrid cars) is also implemented which converts normally wasted braking energy back into stored electricity. While any one of these characteristics alone can create improved efficiency, when all are combined, the resulting solution achieves a 3 to 5-fold improvement in fuel economy, along with comparable or improved safety, performance, and affordability, over conventional passenger vehicles.
While there are no hypercars currently in production, the concept is being tested and researched by most of the big automobile makers and many startup ventures. Many features of hypercars have been incorporated into advanced technology prototypes and show cars. Today's hybrid gas/diesel-electric vehicles are considered to be stepping-stone implementations that could eventually evolve to full hypercar designs.
