ZPM�s 106 MPG Hybrid [2009 Release?]

Justananomaly · 07-16-2008, 08:38 AM

Car-tech aficionados may be familiar with Zero Pollution Motor �s compressed-air powered car. For those that haven�t heard of it yet: air cars could soon take you over 800 miles on a single fill-up, at speeds of up to 96 mph. They'll refuel in less than 3 minutes for around $2, and at speeds over 35 mph emit about half the CO2 of a Toyota Prius. ZPM wants to produce a 6-seater, 75-hp model with a 1000 mile range at 96 mph, all for just $17,800.

Only 96 mph!? That and it looks like a tin box! My car would completely demolish that car if there was a bad car crash. The only plus is the mpg, but for me, safety would be more important.

Why do all of these hybrid cars have to look so atrocious?!

I can live with the Smart cars design but that seriously looks horrible. Did the guy who design that come from LittleTikes or something?

Neat.
I think they need to be designed better as well.
Make them look better.
