    Allegedly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_1-litre_car

    Of course, I don't know how safe it is driving around in a bank drive-through vacuum tube.

    I love it. Maybe we get get rid of the green weenies...

    At 639 lbs, you put a 161 pound person in it, it is now 800 lbs. It also has a whopping 2.8 cu. ft of cargo space. That will keep people from shopping at Wal-Mart, right?

    sorry, lost focus. 800 lbs with a side area of about 30 square feet, only takes a suction of about 0.18 lbs per square inch of delta P to suck it under the tires of an 18 wheeler!

    Thats pretty cool. I doubt its something I would drive, since it doesn't really fit my cargo space desires, but if I only had to drive on city roads and was willing to carry nothing...

    Rumor is that they're working on a commercial tractor-trailor version that will haul two loaves of bread.
