I thought this might interest members on here.
I'm not aware of any other supercapacitor equipped road going vehicles in the UK apart from my MK1 Honda Insight.
The ageing old Nimh technology hybrid battery pack has been replaced with a Lithium Supercapacitor pack made up of 50 x 2200F Capacitors. They are low internal resistance, 50 milliohms for the pack, very efficient >90%, and effectively have an unlimited cycle life.
In my MK1 Honda Insight with tweaked electronics to manage them, it's a significant improvement in instant power over the old pack. They only store about 0.8ah but that's enough for rapid acceleration/braking with high efficiency.
Tech details and photos etc are on the below thread over at Insightcentral.net

Might think about adding them to the MK1 Insight UK rally car.
