World's most economical car at only US$600!

Better than Electric Car - 258 miles/gallon (it will cruise at 100-120 Km/Hr with an unbelievable 0.99litre/100Km)!
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)!

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 don't think it will be appreciated in Malaysia because of its single-seater feature and therefore impractical as compared with our Kancil or its replacement Viva.

The most attractive part, its price, might become unattractive with our import duties and other charges.

As for senior citizens like me, what used to be desirable (like the sporty look) is no longer so because of problems in getting in and out of the car.

What seems most practical now for me is an electric bicycle which does not require a motorbike licence!
