GM car that will never hit the showrooms
Saw this on Yahoo front page. Interesting looking car. Came from a video game. Says it uses laser propulsion.

Built as a pure fantasy based on a downloadable car for Sony's Grand Turismo 6 video game, the Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo Concept was the wildest machine in Los Angeles.
The Chaparral is pure fantasy of a sort that Chevy rarely indulges in, with aerodynamics that have more to do with airplanes than cars. The "driver" lies face down with arms and legs splayed toward the wheels.
Power comes from a "mid-mounted laser beamed-energy propulsion system, which pulses beams of light that focus in a shroud, creating shock waves that generate tremendous thrust in the lightweight race car."
