The cool thing that comes from these design exersizes, which is what the ! liter car started out as, is technology advances.

IMO you don't need titanium bolts and hollow gears, or carbon fiber body and 660lbs in a production vehicle. What if it weighed in at 1200lbs, and got 90mpg, but the cost came down to $18,000usd? It would outsell the 'smart car' I think
