CHINA'S NEW "LITTLE CAR" aka "THE HIGHWAY SUPPOSITORY"
This is not a joke, they do sell for $600.00 and they won't be able to make them fast enough.
Here's a one seater car that will get you back and forth to work on the cheap...
This $600 Volkswagen's car gets 258 mpg, 109.687 km/l or 0,9 liter per 100 km!!!
This $600 car is not a toy; it 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; it was not announced until now where the car would make its first appearance...

The car was introduced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical car in the world !

The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of fuel could deliver 100 kilometers of travel.

Its spartan interior does not sacrifice safety; the impact and roll-over protection is comparable to a GT racing cars.
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.

The Most Economic Car in the World will be on sale next year:
Better than Electric Car - 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in Shanghai

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 or 646 km !!!
