I thought I'd just drop this link here:

Flickr: loremo's Photostream

It's the Loremo company's Flickr stream. Check out the track testing photographs especially. A very aerodynamic car indeed!

I didn't realize how tiny it is! Yet, unlike the Aptera, it sits 4, has a very respectable Cd of 0.20, and still manages to deliver >120mpg! Sign me up!

Nice find, Sayyad.

This pic in particular shows how small it is. Either that, or the people in the photo are giants!



Considering the size, making it a 2+2 is an accomplishment.

apparently the production version will looks slightly different, the loremo website has a picure of it, but most images still show the prototype.

what i like about the loremo is that it's not an ugly shopping trolley, but an economic, practical and yet roadster like car.

with the odd entry method and low seating position i don't think it'll be everyone cup of tea though...

Glad to see that they are still in the game.

Here it is beside a minivan, for a size comparison:



Apparently it is still headed for production around 2010. I wish them luck.
