Meeting as the most economical car in the world !
The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that
1 litre of fuel could deliver 100 kilometres of travel.
Its Spartan interior does not sacrifice safety; the impact
And roll-over protection is comparable to a GT racing car.
The aero design proved essential to getting the desired

And a little over a meter high. The prototype was made
Completely of carbon fibre and is not painted to save

Ahead of the rear axle and combined with an automatic
Shift controlled by a knob in the interior.
