Loremo - the 1.5 litres/100 km biodiesel car Loremo is based on the principle of a captive balloon: Whoever sheds ballast, will pick up speed. The sensational fuel consumption of only 1.5 litres / 100 km is due to the reduction of weight and air resistance and is the result of a productive "struggle" for comfort, design and efficiency. Remembering what is essential does also mean to reduce parts and material as well as to merge functions and, in doing so, also to reduce costs. The cars costs around Euro 15000.- and will be available in Europe this year. http://www.loremo.com/index_en.php BioEthanol and BioDiesel - the Fuel for the Future http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html
Wow...0-60 in 20 seconds...good way to get killed merging on the freeway. Some sports car LOL Cute concept. Not very practicle in the US.
I'll take either the Carver One or the Clever Car, thank you. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! - N
The designs too weird to sell in America, but the light weight construction tech is the way of the future.
I'd like to see both the Loremo and the Clever Car put on the market, and judged by consumers. With certain options, the two cars are very similar. I'd like to know what people like about them, and what are the drawbacks. A decent comparison in real life situations.
a 20 second 0-60 is a HUGE drawback. The "sport" model with its 9 second 0-60 (still painfully slow) is far more practical for the States. Not to sure how it would stand up to U.S. crash safety regs though.
