*****************************
A German research and development team is planning to build a record-breaking car based on the BMW 1 Series car using an engine which runs on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Tuning firm Hartge in Saarbruecken says the car at the centre of the project "V300+" will be able to top 300 km an hour, making it the fastest LPG-driven car to date.
The liquefied gas-engine is set to develop 550 brake horsepower. Engines fuelled on LPG burn much cleaner and in many cases they produce more power and torque than petrol-driven engines of a similar capacity.
