Title: 240mpg - I'd drive it

Sort of blurring the line between car and moto, since it is so light and narrow and passengers are "in line".

Alas, for what that will doubtless cost to buy, I could continue driving something far less fuel efficient for a long time. :P

39hp 2 cyl TDI.

I bet with some big nozzles and a turbo I can get 80hp outta that thing. sure, it'll only get 100mpg but I'd bet with those areodynamics and that 7spd dsg I can get it up to 160 mph.

salt flats here I come [evil]

i saw a show about this when it was still being developed a year or 2 ago.

i like the idea of it, but for some reason i don't actually like that car. maybe they can send it to the ducati factory to have a soul installed.

That was kinda what I was thinkin' when I saw it.

Neat concept!  I wonder how much luggage/groceries will fit in the 'boot'?
