By building cars with lighter material such as carbon fiber, much fuel can be saved.

  • this car only needs all LED lighting and solar panels on top

  • whish episode of ecotech is this from? need it for referencing.. HELP!!!

  • @Hauntedcorn10 I like where your going with this. Companies like Fiber forge here in this video should get together with the super car companies. It's kind of sad that theirs such a line between tree huger cars and the beasts that make girls clothes fall off!

  • first of all a hypercar is a an auto that exceeds over 250mph but i get it "hyper car" nice. but dont take it away from the real hypercars. lol quite the opposite. and i dont know about your math....

  • Excellent, now make one with the new carbon nanotubes fibers, even stronger than the "old" carbon fibers...it should be even lighter or stronger.

    BTW any idea of the cost of such a frame if mass produced? Looks like it's very cheap, provided you have cheap carbon fibers at hand.

  • I see this and want to add power.  Wider tires and lower stance. Take it to the track and drive past the pit more times than could be made up by heavy metal.

  • wow! want one

  • has been around a long time. it requires all the car companies to re-tool, 100mpg won't happen with without a battery on board. I am happy at 60 mpg with a normally aspirated engine. gas prices will skyrocket @ OPEC as this transition hits.

  • 100 mpg ........fuck

  • My heroes
