BMW is developing a new steam powered hybrid using exhaust heat. Pretty cool.

Makes sense, I always wondered with all this hybrid motor stuff why no-one tried to harness all the energy wasted through heat.

They've had steam powered vehicles in the past. Jay Leno owns most of them now. They are pretty damn cool, and can go pretty quick also. I would like to see something like this happen.
