DECATUR, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Would you like a car that goes more than 100-miles per gallon of fuel, has the exotic sports car look, lots of horsepower, lots of torque and can go 0 –60 in a short amount of time?

A local Decatur man has a plan and is receiving support from the federal government.

His car has all those amenities like 400 horsepower and 500 pounds of torque, yet it gets 110 miles to the gallon. Well it's true and it will be on the streets before 2009.

Revenge Designs is a specialty automotive company and based right here in Indiana

Peter Collorafi and Douglas Pelmear have come up with a plan that they say will revolutionize the automotive industry.

Imagine a V-8 engine producing 400 horsepower, 500 foot lbs of torque, running on E-85 fuel, and an all American made V-8 engine.

The specifics are top secret but by building an engine that runs on just ethanol they’ve created an engine that can run at a higher compression ratio, creating more power using less fuel.

Collorafi says, “We're hoping to put production plants back to work again and producing vehicles. The true winner here is the Americans going back to work putting fuel-efficient engines in production vehicles. That's our goal.”

The Revenge Verde is set to roll off the production line in December of 2009. There are also plans in the works to produce the engines themselves so you can put them in your own vehicles and get your own revenge on the oil companies.
