AMAZING footage, LOVED the suave car commercial feel and the joke at the end! Great job!! funny
Great job guys, this is pretty cool.
Cory is the man!
Sell the bad parts, the oil companies hate ultra efficient vehicles that are comfortable ,fast and safe.The truth is we can build 200 mpg vehicles now.We don't care about 1700 mpg,nobody sponsors practical projects,streamlined enclosed vehicles can have it all,the comfort of a large sedan,with the fuel mileage of a go kart all while being safe.The future is now,lets get with it.Enclosed motorcycles,3 wheeler's ,tilters,narrow tracked vehicles.Why not take a new car,GM malibu,section it lengthwise,tandem seating,single door 3 or 4 cylinder direct injection turbo gas or diesel engine,mount the transaxle in the rear,engine in the front,use front and rear sway bars,etc to make the lighter,narrower car handle like a standard Malibu while being much more aerodynamic with it reduced frontal area and over all size.Most of the standard Malibu tooling could still be used.I would expect MPG in the 100 mpg 2 liter per 100 Km with as good or better performance and handling,this is what we should be doing,allowing people choices.A commuter version of a standard car,with good performance,comfort and safety.
Don't worry this is gonna happen soon around or above 2025 or 2026 and the milage will be 500 km per 500 ml (mili-liter) of petrol
