An epic odyssey about craft, cars, ego and ambition, it's a classic tale of chasing down the American dream.. That is, until the author discovers that $100,000 won’t even pay for the hubcaps.Super Car is a window into 21st century technology and cutting edge design at its most relevant and bizarre-a story that sizzles like American Graffiti on acid. Mark Christensen had a simple dream—to create a 600-horsepower suicide machine able to accelerate from zero to sixty in less time than it takes to read this sentence. Inspired, the author assembles a best of the best team of engineers, mechanics and fabricators.But the dream becomes grander after Pugh develops an incredibly simple method for cars to triple their driving range. When a friend offers him $100,000 to realize that dream, Christensen enlists Nick Pugh, a talented young designer who shows him some stunning sketches of the Xeno I. Suddenly nothing seems impossible
