$600 VW gets 258 mpg ...
 

China launches $600 car that will get 258 mpg.

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.
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 rollover protection is comparable to the GT racing cars.
