Last year, the HP2g E85-powered Mustang was at the Detroit Auto Show, and things were looking pretty good for Doug Pelmear and his 110 miles-per-gallon equivalent plan. He was participating in the Automotive X Prize and was confident he would at least win the popularity portion of the AXP thanks to the classic looks of his entry vehicle.
Fast forward a year and things haven’t turned out quite as well as Pelmear had hoped. In June, he and his team acrimoniously dropped out of the X Prize, and while the HP2g Mustang still made a few appearances, the company’s next vehicle – the Revenge Verde Super Car – was supposed to be at the LA Auto Show last month. It wasn’t. Thankfully, when the Detroit Auto Show kicks off next week, Pelmear will be on hand at the NAIAS Green Zone with the Revenge Verde from Revenge Designs Inc.
Like the Mustang, the Revenge Verde uses the V8 HP2g engine that is supposed to get 110 mpg. We’ll get more information from Cobo Hall next week, but what we’ve heard before says that the V8 engine puts out 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque with CO2 emissions under 200 g/km. Stay tuned for more.
