Yes, please.

Loremo AG set to debut 2+2 coupe that gets over 150 MPG

German-based Loremo AG is set to debut a 2+2 coupe at the Geneva Auto Show that gets a whopping 157 MPG.

The $13,000 Loremo LS weighs just 992 lbs and features a two cylinder turbo-diesel engine pumping out a hardly earth shattering 20HP. The mid-engine, RWD coupe gets roughly 157 miles per gallon and has a cruising range of 807 miles. It goes 0-60 in 20 seconds and has a top speed of 99 MPH.

A more powerful $17,800 Leromo GT will also be available. It weighs in slightly more at 1,036 lbs and features a 3 cylinder turbo-diesel with 50 HP. It gets 87 miles per gallon, has a cruising range of 497 miles, goes 0-60 in 9 seconds and tops out at 137 MPH.

Both will come standard with airbags, radio and particle filter. Options will include a dashboard computer, A/C, MP3 player, navigation system, and leather.




I would pimp that. I would pimp that all the way to the bank. I do about 1000 miles a month on Daisy. If I drove the living piss out of the top-of-the-line model and got 80mpg, I would need 12.5G of gas per month. Daisy's light doesn't come on before 13.9.

Awesome. I wonder what kind of displacement those things have. Replace the stock turbo with something like a GT15 and you'd still get better than 50mpg, I bet. 0-60 in 6 seconds might be possible.

Anyways...

When I first read this sentence i thought the dashboard was one option and the computer another.

Light, turbo, RWD, I smell a new drift machine, lol

The 150mpg may be well worth the half-hour quarter mile time. I've been putting 400 miles on my car a week.

some initial thoughts:
-Wow I'd actually consider buying a german car for the first time in my life if that came out. (it'd have to lose the chrome though.)
-that's pimp compared to all the prius and civic hybrids out there.
-900+lbs that's like as much as a giant tortoise.
-I don't really see a difference between a 10second 0-60 and a 20second 0-60, it's still slow.
-I like the EL film taillights :P

Look at the roof line and tell me what it reminds you of....

That thing looks like a death trap, 1000 pounds? A nice wind could probally blow that thing around.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It'll be the first thing street legal that is more dangerous than a motorcycle in a collision. lol

that's really cool, I think the front bumper should come all the way down though, and yea lose the chrome. Definitely be a fun little drift car haha

so is this just a concept or do you think they'll actually make them

edit: just looked on their site, supposedly they come out in 2009, think they'll come out in the US?

No it dosent have a v8 in it.... seriously though its possible, the american market right now is being taken over by forgin auto manifactures(toyota is opening a plant in michagan) if they can get the dot to approve it I bet one american cent that it will come here.

wow, what an ugly car.

Toyota already has plants here.

My business professor told me that they were looking for a place to open it. I stand corrected.

Wonder if it'll have that gay 'veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel' sound driving around like futuristic cars do in the movies, lol. like a hondas fartcan on helium.

I'm going to be one of the first to purchase/import this

Its diesel jackass. no naws and injectors will cost upwards around 500 for 3. Cant just bolt on any turbo either since diesels dont use throttle bodies.

i was just being a sarcastic ricer.....geez

i was serious about the franken-2jz tho, that would be some major ass hauling/driftage

Or, install a small propane tank and have some hardware to control the flow. Propane : diesel :: nitrous : gasoline

Even if this car is legit and it's not some vaporware ploy, I doubt it will ever be available in the states. The word "diesel" turns a lot of people off, especially in Taxachusetts where you cannot sell new diesel cars, and importing a used one from another state is extremely difficult due to regulations placed by the Fascist Ministry of Motor Vehicles in this state.

lolz there's no doors...

wow- didnt know theyre that tough on diesels in taxachusetts...

A 20 hp drift machine??? Yeah maybe on an ice patch.
I'm sure those 0-60 times were also just with a driver. Add a passenger and the number probably triples.
I vote: :thumbsdown
