Even cheaper than a Camel...

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 litre 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 fibre 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
This is a single  seater car 
From  conception to production: 3 years and the  company is head-quartered 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
