Check out the spec. sheet this is insane
During initial testing the 112 hp concept car reached a maximum speed of more than 155 mph while fuel consumption on the combined cycle was an incredible 113 mpg.

If it's a diesel, the you can put a turbo?

oh man this car is jus pathetic to look :smt078

oh man this car is jus pathetic to look

How can you judge looks with specs. like that. a buck 55 and 113 mpg while doing it
Do the math my average commute 17 miles per day useing my homemade biodeisel fuel @.51cent per gallon my total fuel bill for the year would be 30 bucks US

Welcome! Vauxhall is identical to Opel, and the joke in the advert was the Eco Speedster trying to be used in everyday like, like going over speedbumps, trying to reach the ticket machine, having the prgnant wife trying to get out etc etc, its quite funny when you see it! So then it goes on to say how they've made it more practical by using a similar diesel in the model range...

Take away the decal and I like it
might agree with u!! :evil:

The eco-speedster is nuts, 5 sec 0-100 km/h, 250+ km/h top speed and 3-4lt/100km.... :shock: :shock: :shock:

Note (for the millionth time): ALL modern diesel engines are turbocharged!

homemade biodeisel fuel= a combonation of things the most readly avaliable being used french fry greese most places pay to have it hauled off if you come get it its free..
after some filtering its ready to go Just make a batch of bio deisel with some methenal currently 1.05 per gallon in bulk 98% pure NOT RACE FUEL some sodium hydroxide found in drain cleaner. I will post more info on my board as soon as possiable still working out the bugs http://www.eedata.com/phpBB2/index.php

That has now been made illegal in the UK after people were seen going crazy buying sunflower oil etc and other ways to save money!!!

I said modern ones, like 1-2 years old at the most. Personally I haven't seen a new diesel without a turbo...

What about a VW Golf 2.0 SDI. Introduction 2004, and no turbo

I'm not familiar with this car... there might be one or two exceptions.
Anyway, back to the topic.

I dont think that this car will run on Bio-Diesel... yet. 8) If it did, that would be truly amazing.. only $30 dollars a year. A 2003 Bmw 3-Series will run you about $1400 dollars yearly. (An anual distance of 15000 miles 45% Highway 55% City at an average gas cost of 1.92 per gallon)

They're still out there in a lot of lower end diesles

mercedes got one of their diesels to 200 mph.. but that was more of a CLK GTR type car

C111 was out in the 70s, not really like the GTR

You know, when i take a step back from my everyday pretend bank account and look at all the cars we post, such as this, i say anyone would want this car. "Take off the decal".. Plz, im willing to bet that at least 90 percent of the cars we post are cars we dont own and wish we had. Basically all im saying is right now we'd say i dont want it, or take of the decal. But if it was standing there, on all fours in front of our faces and the price was in reach, we'd probably beg for a car like this. :lol:

Very nice said, and completely right!!!

Indeed, very very true... :cry:

Indeed, very very true... :cry:

Yes it is :smt089

Yeah...but the point is that it's not within reach, along with the Ferrari's, Porsche's, Jag's, Aston's, and *sniff* McLaren's...

Thus, we can state our opinion as if we had the money to spare and weren't worried about gas prices.

But ignoring the above, you're dead on. 8)
