If you ever wondered who designed the DeLorean automobile, it was Giorgetto Giugiaro. The DeLorean was designed with a great look, and off the shelf engine and parts. The body was stainless steel, so it should last forever. About 9000 of the cars were manufactured at the DeLorean plant in Ireland before John DeLorean was busted in a drug selling sting. DeLorean got off from the drug bust for entrapment, and served no jail time. He did create one beautiful car! These figures are from U.S. Design Patents 283882, and 257834.
There is an engine development you might include here by Somender Singh. It is a simple groove that completely changes what a regular engine is capable of in terms of performance and efficiency.
How much would it costs to create a license of his Patent that covers all liability?

It’s great that more people are focusing on making better environmental choices. Plus technology is making it more economical now, and that’s what people really notice. Wind energy, solar power, hybrids and zap EV’s, our choices are good. There are now electric cars being sold everyday, you just plug it into a regular power outlet. When people test drive them they say it’s far more fun to drive an EV.
