Electromagnetic Motor (Actually working)
Tested on high physics. May not work on low or even medium.
Press 1 to start. Steer with Roll.
You may want to turn off the sound :)

MARK 2 - SMALLER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER
MARK 3 - BI-DIRECTIONAL IN TWO OPTIONS
The motor can be made more powerful by increasing magnet strength even more and adding more weight to the flywheel (the four-beamed thing right after the rotor).
The opposite also works: if you don't need much power, you can get rid of the flywheel, remove dead weight from the rotor cylinders and make magnets weaker. It will reduce the weight of the whole thing dramatically.
The direction of spin is determined by initial position of the rotor, so if you stop it and then try to turn it on again, or if the rotor declines on its own before the launch, it may start spinning in the opposite direction (or it may not start spinning at all).
Of course the motor can be attached directly to the wheels:
The chassis is my old build - slightly adjusted The Real Car. Check it out if you haven't, it has a gearbox and a piston engine :).
Also take a look at this - it's a similar motor with interesting design by @Kitten777 made a day earlier. I think he deserves an upvote!

@iwannabeelected yw
@F1849 thanks :)
Fucking cool
@DPSAircraftManufacturer thank you! The MK3 version is about two times faster.
.
I'm pretty sure this kind of gearbox (overdrive I think?) won't work good enough for a couple reasons. I didn't have time to properly try it though. You can try it yourself if you want to.
@pwq233 thank you!
@YL thank you for spotlight as well! :)
@Onedream @YL thank you so much guys!
@Kitten777 no problem! :) I think mentions still don't work in the description :(
Omg I didn’t even notice that you mentioned me thank you!
No problem! : ) @iwannabeelected
You put a Tesla symbol in the front of the car?! XD

@RadarJamJar @Hayhayjam664 @ThomasRoderick @valaszki @Supernovaboss504 @Onedream thank you guys!
@marcox43 hey, thank you so much for spotlight! :)
@Shippy456 would love to see it! Thanks for upvote!
@Johnnyynf looks interesting, I will check it out later, thanks! And thank you for upvote!
Imma make a shell for this frame.
hey ! I mod this car with this chassis but with a boxer 4 engine , and I think you would like to take a look . because its such an entertainment to look at

No problem bud
@Stormfur thank you! :) And thank you for the upvote!
@CptJacobson thank you :)
@Killerking98 @Avro683Lancaster @randomusername @Galland @Destroyerz117 @JamesBoA thank you all for your upvotes!
dang it. I knew eventually clean engines would get into simpleplanes but i didn't know they would come this fast.
Thankfully though there are so many parts a Prius can't be built out of it. if one is i will leave SP and go somewhere else clean engine free.
Jk about the last part but i am happy to see people are using the magnets differently this quick after the 1.8 update
@iwannabeelected no problem oh and i love the concept
@Hyattorama thank you for the spotlight! :)
@sexylips35 thank you so much for the upvote and the spotlight!
