The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years
The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 litres of air!
The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks to India’s TATA Motors. Forget corn! There’s fuel, there’s renewable fuel, and then there’s user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?
I heard a rumour ages ago that some guy in Australia invented a car to run on water.
Big oil bought him out and why wouldn’t they? This was a risk to their main income.
And, you would take the same deal as I heard it was around $50 million.
But good ideas can’t be buried and I heard that BMW has invented a car similar that also runs on water, and is about to go into production.
OK, back to the main story………This is the same company that, a few months back, came out with a car that costs only $2,500.00 new, but this new one is not available in the USA or Australia yet (why does that not surprise me?).
This is a non-polluting vehicle that eliminates the reason to buy gasoline from off-shore companies, which will please all those mis-informed greenies out there.
The car is ugly, no doubt about it.
But don’t worry about that, just think of the principals involved here.
Here are some more pics!
