Check out this article. It is talking about an ethanol powered Le Mans prototype that will be competing in the Sebrings 12hrs and Le Mans 24hrs. Thought it was pretty interesting.

I recall a car that was built back in the 70's by, I think, Leer of Leer Jet fame. It ran on hydrogen much as folks have been pushing recently. He sold the technology to one of the big three and it was never seen again.
