Antro Solo Hybrid Car

Antro Solo Hybrid Car One doesn't usually associate Hungary with cutting-edge automotive design. That's about to change, or could change at least a little bit, with this Hungarian-designed Antro Solo eco-car.

Built mostly with carbon fiber composite materials, the Solo weighs in at a featherlight 270kg. The seating is McLaren F1-like arranged like with the driver sitting in the center, flanked by a passenger on each side... The light weight and hybrid design allow it to achieve fuel efficiency between 1.5L and 2.0L/100km (117-157mpg US) while also attaining a top speed of 140km/h (87mph). The car gets its power from a variety of technologies, including solar power, human power and a standard combustion-electric hybrid system.

Production is planned for 2012, with the price of the Solo to start around US $18,000. There may also be a larger model in the works, called the Duo and offering room for six. There are even plans to make the Duo capable of being split into two Solos with just 10 minutes of work. Now that would be cool!
