That’s right, folks, it’s movie time. So sit back, relax, and get ready for some surious learning as Amory Lovins narrates this neato video about Hypercars. All you have to do is ; look, here he is now:
Fun Facts about Hypercars
- Very light weight, very strong (carbon fiber, the same as Formula One race cars)
- Less wind resistance
- More efficient electric accessories (A/C, CD player, etc.)
- Increase fuel efficiency dramatically
- Windows let in light, but not heat (reducing need for A/C)
Amory says it’s possible we’ll see hypercars on the market within 4 to 5 years. Hopefully my car can hold out that long, then I’ll spring for a crazy efficient hypercar and watch my gas savings pile up.
