"This is not a joke and they do sell for $600.00.

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!
China launches $600 car that will get
258mpg

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 its 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:
