Motion Concept Vehicles Inc. (MCV) in Mississauga, Ontario, has developed the concept of a supercar that will cost dollar 225,000. The car was originally planned to run on natural gas, or methane, hence the car's original name, CH4. However, the production car will run on gasoline, and natural gas will be an aftermarket option due to some emissions-compliance issues and market development. The engine in the CH4 prototype is a General Motors 4.6-l, multivalve V8, converted to run on natural gas. The weight-to-power ratio expected is approximately 5:1; the 2,300- to 2,400-lb car will be run by a 400- to 450-hp engine and will go from zero to 60 mph in four to five seconds.
