The Chinese Car is coming soon !
This will beat all the low fuel consumption cars in the world! NEW CAR- FOR $600------- New Single Seat VW New ride If you could go to Shanghai for a vacation, buy two or more of these cars, one for your wife and one for yourself, and one for each of your kids, have them shipped to Canada and still spend less money than if you bought a car in Canada. Getting the car(s) into USA , still an ordeal. This is not a toy, not a concept car. It is a newly developed single seat car in highly aerodynamic tear-shape road-proven real car. It is ready to be launched as a single-seater for sale in Shanghai in 2010 for a mere RMB 4,000 (US$600)! Interested? Wait till you learn that it will cruise at 100-120 Km/Hr with an unbelievable 0.99litre/100Km (258 miles/gallon)! Impressed? Totally, after you have read all the details below about the hi-tech and space-age material input into this car! 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

It was a concept a few years ago, but has been updated last year, it's the Volkswagen 1L concept.

I can see this is the way of the future. As in single seaters.
Daily driver this is, then if more people, then bring out the wagon.... |

Wouldn't be bad just to get to work in, all depends on how much the rego cost. If it's like a single seat bike then cool.

I wonder what the survivability would be of hitting another car - or a cyclist for that matter?

only have a few comments on this "car".
1. fuel economy, might have been judged on light throttle,highway/country rd driving which kind,a leads me to point 2. 2. safety. the backwash of a semi would throw that thing into next year ?, let alone hitting anything !. 3. ok might be fine for a shopping trolley but would you be caught driving one ?. hmm 4. (optional) i just think they,re downright ugly.

I don't know why everybodies worried about if they had a crash. If I had one I'd drive it with the same frame of mind when I ride a bike. And that's give way to everybody as it dosen't matter who's in the right, you'll come off second best. As my work is only about 5 mins from where I live it would be ideal. But you would never try and travel long distances in one.

I'd rather save myself the time and attach an engine to a coffin. Two jobs in one.

I think these things would be good for short trips in the city/suburbs but stuff driving them on a freeway!

For those that think it's not safe, well it probably isn't compared to a conventional car, but compared to a bike then it is an improvement.

They won't sell in China - because they can't do stuff like this with them:
