The "Whisper" Ford-S Max car powered by a Capstone C30 Microturbine
In June 2009, a Capstone Model C30 liquid fueled microturbine was successfully integrated into a Ford S-Max people carrier by Langford Performance Engineering in the United Kingdom. Langford reports that the "Whisper Eco-Logic" car gets up to 80 mpg in early stage demonstration testing. The design characteristics of Capstone's turbine permits ultra-low emissions, high-fuel economy, multi-fuel capability, no coolants or lubricating oil, and little to no maintenance in hybrid electric vehicle applications.
