Each turbine weighs 110 pounds, + 400 pound battery pack. So 620 total, producing 780bhp and 1170 torque. That is it though. No radiator or any of the other added weights necessary on a typical engine, plus weight savings in the transmission make it quite acceptable, especially given the fuel economy. Diesel is heavier than petrol, but not that much. All super cars have large fuel tanks, so that point is completely mute.

Where did you find that? 110lbs for the turbines? You also forgot the 4 electric motors.

Motortrends link says 110lbs x 4 electric motors + 400lbs batteries = 840lbs before turbines and diesel fuel that will weigh around 100lbs with a full tank. Could easily weigh 1,200lbs before figuring in the transmission. The turbines are watercooled, so there will be a radiator.
Shoot, at least it is still getting 30mpg.
