PHYSICS BROKEN! The 48.41% Engine That Made Electric Cars Obsolete [ CHINA 2026]

PHYSICS BROKEN! The 48.41% Engine That Made Electric Cars Obsolete [ CHINA 2026] The internal combustion engine is NOT dead. Geely has just shattered the limits of physics with the new i-HEV NordThor system, achieving a verified world record of 48.41% thermal efficiency. While Toyota and legacy automakers celebrated 41%, Chinese engineers just made electric cars obsolete. In this complete thermodynamic teardown, we expose the secret "Fire Tornado" combustion technology, the extreme Miller Cycle, and the 11-in-1 E-DHT transmission that allows heavy SUVs like the Geely Galaxy M7 to deliver over 2,000km of range, burning less than 3L/100km with a dead battery. Has China just killed the Japanese hybrid industry? 🏁 Subscribe to Drive&RPM for the ultimate automotive engineering deep dives: [Insira seu link de inscrição aqui] In this video, we cover: The 41% Lie: Why legacy automakers stopped innovating.
