330 MPG Uber Hybrid?

"Accelerated Composites, LLC, plan to sell a revolutionary hybrid two-seater car that they say can get up to 330 miles per gallon, and will sell for under $20,000.

Another reason the big automakers aren't jumping to composites is corporate inertia. "They have many billions of dollars invested in factories and infrastructure for making cars the old-fashioned way. They couldn't walk away from that if they wanted to. This is something that only a new company can do, and that's where we come in". "We've got a perfectly-timed, market-busting product. We have a great team of world class engineers and designers, high-powered marketing and sales experience, and a solid business plan".
