Most car companies are racing to bring electric vehicles to the market. But one startup is skipping the high-tech electronics, making cars whose energy source is pulled literally out of thin air.

Zero Pollution Motors is trying to bring a car to U.S. roads by early 2011 that's powered by a combination of compressed air and a small conventional engine.

ZPM Chief Executive Shiva Vencat said the ultimate goal is a price tag between $18,000 and $20,000, fuel economy equivalent to 100 miles per gallon and a tailpipe that emits nothing but air at low enough speeds.

Going green is going to suck.

While I have nothing against going green, do we also absolutely have to go gay?

why do all these "green" cars look like they are from a really dodgy film from the 1980 that is set in the year 2000?

To get compressed air, you need a compressor which needs electricity, to get electricity you need to burn some fossil fuels. /fail

Mechanical advantage gearing would run an internal compressor.

How do they even come up with this stuff? How hard can it be to make a good looking green car?
fags. Maybe if they came up with a good design these cars would be a success.

the only one that does.

also, this thing is aerodynamically flawed. just look at it, it would take off at 60 MPH
