FLYWHEELS have been used for ages on British double decker bus, I 
believe, and they have the added advantag of providing stability on 
corners.  GYRO/GENERATOR/FLYWHEEL ... but for cars it would take up a lot 
of space and not be too practical, as well as causing rotational problems 
when changing speeds due to the short wheelbase.
