The most unusual "supercar" proposed may have been the Ford Nucleon concept car of the late 50s. It had a small nuclear reactor in the trunk (in proposal - they never built one) and the target was 5000 miles between refuelings. An exercise to those of you with engineering or physics backgrounds is to figure out a few "practical" schemes to do this that might have been used. Take 20 minutes and talk about performance and safety tradeoffs.
