It looks like we’ll soon have a car that produces no pollution but doesn’t skimp on top speed or travel distance (see the gizmag article or the official web site for details). From what I’ve seen, cars that use alternative power sources such as electricity or solar energy have traditionally had low top speeds, making them suitable only for city driving, or short distances between recharges, making long road trips impossible. With a top speed of 68 mph and the ability to go 200 to 300 km between fill ups, the air car solves both problems.
The air car should soon be in the production phase and will apparently be available for US$7300. It’s also incredibly fuel (air?) efficient at US$3 a tank. I’m looking forward to seeing some of these on the road as the world finally starts realizing that gas-powered cars are no longer the most efficient vehicles on the road. Hopefully we’ll start seeing compressed air refill stations popping up soon.
