> turbo diesel, or maybe even a 2 stroke diesel like the trains use.

Implementing any kind of diesel motor in such a car would apparently
out California as a market.  For reasons I don't fully understand,
you apparently can't sell diesel cars in Ca.  It's not based on actual
pollution statistics or anything, as far as I can tell.  Just "no  
diesel."

(I'd think any turbine would out-perform a piston-based diesel anyway?
Something capable of being fueled by either gasoline or propane might
be particularly attractive.  Propane/LNG is somewhat cheaper and more
politically correct than gasoline, and apparently have similar energy
content per gallon.)
