Default 258 mpg VW

This is not a joke and they do sell for $600.00.
They wont be able to make them fast enough--
be good just to run around town.

Here's a car that will get you back and forth to work on the cheap.......
$600 for the car. 258 miles per gallon... Only a one seater however
Talk about cheap transportation....... Volkswagen's $600 car gets 258 mpg --
It looks like Ford, Chrysler and GM missed the boat again!


China launches $600 car that will get 258mpg

This $600 car is no toy and is ready to be released
in China next year.

The single seater aero car totes VW (Volkswagen) branding.

Volkswagen did a lot of very highly protected testing of this car in Germany , but it was not announced until now where the car would make it's first appearance.

The car was introduced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical car in the world is presented.

The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of fuel could deliver 100 kilos of travel. Spartan interior doesn't sacrifice safety

The aero design proved essential to getting the desired result. The body is 3.47 meters long and just 1.25 meters wide, and a little over a meter high. The prototype was made completely of carbon fiber and is not painted to save weight.

The power plant is a one cylinder diesel positioned ahead of the rear axle and combined with an automatic shift controlled by a knob in the interior.

Safety was not compromised as the impact and roll-over protection is comparable to the GT racing cars.



The Most Economic Car in the World will be on sale next year:

Better than Electric Car ? 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in Shanghai This is a single seated car

From conception to production: 3 years and the company is headquartered in Hamburg , Germany ..

Will be selling for 4000 Yuan, equivalent to US$ 600..

Gas tank capacity = 1.7 gallons

Speed = 62 ? 74.6 Miles/hour

Fuel efficiency = 258 miles/gallon

Travel distance with a full tank = 404 miles

I may learn that, when you learn to quit reading things that offend you. LOL

I may learn that, when you learn how to fix something that you cannot read.-Bob

Another reported post. I don't think reporting posts does anything though because senor honda is still allowed to post.

Default Guiding pribciples :)

K20,
Here are some guiding principles for your life:

1. Read everything that you don't like.
2. Try to ignore knowledge of any kind.
3. Always criticise the method in which knowledge is delivered.
4. Never make life better by improving something you criticise.
5. Periodically post on a thread to show us that you are following
your guiding principles........ Thanks.-Bob

Good shit. I remember reading about this prototype on VWvortex like 6-7 years ago! I'm glad to see it finally made production.

Back in 95-96 there were bicycles for sale costing 10x as much in Shanghai. Hell, I bought a camera for 3000 RMB. This is going to be revolutionary for China. The masses will be able to afford to drive... feel freedom behind the wheel... then want more freedom. I'm a VW nutswinger, but still find it odd a single car built by a German company has the capability to topple the most populated country in the world's government. This single car will either prohibit China from becoming the number 1 global superpower for quite some time... or speed up the process alarmingly.
