I would love to have a car that was pure generator driven, no massive battery pack. OK, it's not "green" but it would have the performance of an electric without the compromises.
I like this idea, too. it would be interesting to see this kind of tech advanced and see what kind of motor comes out on top as the best generator(or alternator). Diesel, gas, rotary, LP?
