loremo

If all concept cars looked like this, we'd all get one...

What's wrong with cars today? They're overweight, over specified and over teched. Though engines today are twice as efficient as they were twenty years ago, the cars they move weigh twice as much hence no improvement in petrol consumption. Which is where the Loremo comes in (standing for low resistance automobile). Initiated by a consortium of German engineers led by Uli Sommer and designed by Tobias Hoffritz, the car is built for frugality as opposed to opulence and luxury. This means real improvements in petrol use, 186 mpg is promised. This is achieved by designing an incredibly slippery shape, a drag co-efficient of 0.20, and a drastic reduction in weight. The Loremo is intended to move people from A to B as efficiently as possible. Ok, it won't have fourteen programmable seat positions, sat nav, a heated steering wheel and LCD tvs in the back of the seats. But with the climate going the way they say it is, these shouldn't be our priorities either.
