Hi,

I am 24 year old guy from Finland. I graduated as automotive engineer last summer from Helsinki Polytechic Stadia. At School I worked a student project car called Citycab which is a modern taxi with hybrid powertrain from Prius. For more information:

Then that car become ready and begin Stadias next consept project which is called Electric RaceAbout-ERA. On this project I worked for half a year and then I graduated. Era is a four wheel driven electric sports car with full carbon fibre body. The car is built for speed but still you can drive it economically because it its electric. The school will take part for the automotive xprize contest held in the states somewhere next year. Fuel consumption for that contest must be at least 100mpg, google tells more about that. Eras web pages are:
