Way back in February, I posted a story about an Air Car<\/a>. And my misgivings about its appearance are still there – and things haven’t changed. But then again, people buy SMART Cars…<\/p>\n

India’s largest automaker is set to start producing the world’s first commercial air-powered vehicle. The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One<\/a> engineer Guy Negre<\/a> for Luxembourg<\/a>-based MDI, uses compressed air<\/a>, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion<\/a> models, to push its engine’s pistons. Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008. – Popular Mechanics<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
