238mpg
Here is a concept designed by Volkswagen
It has a 299cc diesel engine that produces a whopping 8.5 horse power and has a 6 speed manumatic transmission. Not sure how light it is. https://www.carseller.ru/ill/070417vo..._car_rside.jpg It is two passenger but tandem (like a bobsled) |
damn, whats the cruising speed of that thing?
|
I dunno, i got that info from wiki and it didn't mention weight or top speed. I can't imagine much tho!! It has an insanely low cd of 0.159. Compare that to a typical car of 0.35. It has a 1.7 gallon tank and a range of 400 miles. That translates to a fuel cost of a little more than https://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...e_cent_obv.jpg a mile.

I actually have that picture as my wallpaper!

damn, it would be nice to have more info on it. id still rather have a bigger engine though. 399cc's, thats way tiny. 999cc would be much better imo. that thing must accelerate like molasses uphill.
|
Look up the vw 1l for more info.
|
yep, volkswagen one litre is it's name. Yeah, I think a 500cc engine would be good for car that size. 299cc approaching lawnmower status. 1 liter is kinda overkill. :P I think my VX is overpowered at 1.5 liters. just makes it that much more tempting to smash the throttle to the floor and feel the curves of the road. :D but it's nice to have a sporty car that gets 60+mpg

Is the project back on? I remember it came out, there was talks of poducing it - then scrapped due to mfr. costs (there's lots of difficult/expensive to produce magnesium components). A few months ago, I had heard the project was restarted as new tech made mfr. costs more feasible....
I'd totally ride in it :) |
hah yea i have a 4hp lawnmower engine thats 189cc...id the gearign is right, and th person driving it is light, then yea it could be decent accel

The 1L version weighs 290kg, I hear.
