The air car is coming to the U.S. Zero Pollution Motors said that it will make the first air-powered car for the U.S. by late next year! Air! As in FREE (or 25 cents at the petrol station.) APM has the rights to build several modular plants that can grind out 10,000 cars a year. If the deal needs to be sweeter, how about a sticker below $18,000?
Implications - The new air-car will be called the MiniCAT, which has three seats. The company ZPM plans to make a six-seat version for families as well. The MiniCAT will have 75 hp and can travel 1000 miles going 96 mph with only one small fill-up.
