Thanks to Au P who sent this in. I think they're great:
Here's a car that will get you back and forth to work on the cheap. Selling at just $600 for the car and with 258 miles per gallon, it may only have one seat, but that is hardly a problem.
Made by Volkswagen, the car is ready to be released in China next year after extensive testing in Germany. It's been labelled as the most economical car in the world as the prototype has proved that 1 litre of fuel can deliver 100 kilos of travel.
The aero design proved essential to getting the desired result and it has dimensions of 3.47 metres (length) by 1.25 metres (width) and a little over a metre in height. The body is made completely of carbon fibre and is not painted, to save weight.
The power plant is a one-cylinder diesel engine positioned ahead of the rear axle, and combined with an automatic shift, controlled by a knob in the interior. Safety was not compromised, as the impact and roll-over protection is comparable to the GT racing cars.
Better than an electric car with 258 miles/gallon this is a single-seated car went from conception to production in just 3 years. It goes on sale in China at 4000 Yuan, equivalent to US$ 600.
Gas tank capacity = 1.7 gallons. Top Speed = 62-74.6 miles/hour. Fuel efficiency = 258 miles/gallon. Travel distance with a full tank = 404 miles
