Saw this in one of the newspaper a year or two ago it is a feulless car that runs on air pressure alone it deos ninety miles to its air until it needs to refill again which takes 15 min i think.

I can't watch the video at the moment how does one fill the car with air do you pump it in or does the car have a pump ? I couldn't find that info? It seems too good to be true. In theory at €13,000 it would have paid for it's self pretty quickly due to the price of petrol being ridiculous. Uncle Sam won't like it.

Looks totally fake. Especially the shaky, badly shot video on their own website.

However.....

If everyone has cars running on compressed air, what's going to make them explode in action films?
