Hey Guys, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Volkswagen just announced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical car in the world. China will build it for VW and will cost $600 US (4000 yuan). The single seater aero car is no toy and is ready to be released in China next year. It totes VW Volkswagen branding.

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 is a one cylinder diesel positioned ahead of the rear axle and combined with an automatic shift controlled by a know in the interioir.

Specs.,
Will be selling for 4000 yuan, equivalent to US$600

Gas tank capacity=1.7 gallons

Speed= 62 74.6 Miles/hr

Fuel efficiency= 258 miles/gallon

Travel distance with a full tank= 404 miles

Tom, I want one!!!
