Someone just forwarded me the pictures of this Volkswagen single seater diesel concept car that is set to be released onto the Shanghai's market in 2010.
It looks cool for a single seater car but I can't believe its price, RMB 4,000 (US$600) only!
- It will cruise at 100-120 Km/Hr with an unbelievable 0.99litre/100Km (258 miles/gallon).
- Better than Electric Car - 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in Shanghai. This will beat all the low fuel consumption cars in the world.
- From conception to production: 3 years and the company is headquartered in Hamburg , Germany.
- 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 don't mind to fly to Shanghai just to buy this cool single seater car and ship it back. It's still very cheap after adding the shipping cost.
