German Engineering

A look at an impressive new entry in the battle for better fuel economy.

Recently, I’ve posted several topics about auto news relating to the gas crunch and vehicles with good fuel economy.  Today, however, I was very excited when I saw the Loremo.  Not only does it get 157 miles per gallon but it just looks great.

The Loremo is produced by a six year old German car company name Loremo AG.  Despite its gas mileage the Loremo is not a hybrid and still has good performance.

The base model Loremo LS is powered by a 2 cylinder 20 hp turbo diesel engine that will reach a speed of 100 mph and the GT model will reach up to 135 mph with a 0 to 60 mph acceleration of 9 seconds.


Wow!  That sounds great but how did they do it?  Well, the car is extremely light weight and aerodynamic.  And even with its light weight, the Loremo still meets safety standards because of their patented “linear cell structure” method. 

This sounds like a very ground breaking and interesting car but, sadly, at this time it looks like it will only be for sale in Europe
