    Volkswagen introduces world’s most economical car | Car Advice | Reviews

    This is not a joke and they do sell for $600.00. They won't be able to make them fast enough - good just to run around town.

    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 kilometers 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.

    Steve if I send you 1,200.00$ could you get me 2 of these and stick them in an envelope and mail them to me?

    There is no way the big auto names in the states would ever let this fly. crash ratings or something will keep it off our streets, and our money in thier pockets. $600 bucks, that would make for a nice insurance deductable. lol.

    It probably won't pass US crash tests.

    $600! Your kidding... I would almost certainly think that they would at least charge $6000. I mean people would still jump on that like it was pure gold...
