Volkswagen Bio Runner
According to VW, the Baja 1000 is still happening in 2025 -- but it will have a “One Tank Unlimited Solo Class” in which each driver has just 10
gallons of patented biosynthetic jet fuel to play with and a dual-turbine engine that spins up to 500,000 rpm. In the Bio Runner, the racer sits on a
motorcycle-like saddle inside a protective cage and works controls attached to the hands and feet. Like a motorcycle, the c-ckpit can be leaned over
in corners to shift the center of gravity. It is also supported by an aerial reconnaissance drone, which sends video into the cabin when visibility is
limited.
