How to build a car powered by a savonius/wind turbine

Hello! I have seen an interesting experimental car on German TV. It is a small car, in which a wind driven helix directly trasmits the mechanic energy to the wheels. The car moves, even against wind direction. That car was equipped with a tall helix perpendicular to the main axis. I think that a savonius turbine would be more effective because it can exploit winds coming from every direction. Does anybody have any ideas or plans to realize a similar car?
