: $600 Car

Hard to believe!!!

This is not a joke and they do sell for $600.00. They  won't be able to make them fast enough--



be good just to  run around town.

Here's a  car that will get you back and forth to work on  the cheap.......$600 for  the car.
  

258 miles  per gallon...Only a one  seater however.    Talk about  cheap transportation  .......
    
Volkswagen's $600 car  gets 258 mpg -- It looks like Ford, Chrysler and  GM missed the boat  again!









This $600 car is no  toy and 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, 


but it was not announced until  now where the car would make it's first  appearance.

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


in the world is  presented.The initial objective  of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of  fuel could deliver 100 kilos


of travel.  
Spartan interior doesn't  sacrifice safety

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.

Safety was not  compromised as the impact and roll-over  protection is comparable to the GT racing  cars.




The Most Economic Car in the World  will be on sale next  year:

Better than Electric Car  – 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in  Shanghai

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
