Edison2 Unveils New Super-MPG Car At The Henry Ford

DEARBORN — Finally, a 21st Century car that really looks like it came from the 21st Century.

The venue was appropriate. The Henry Ford is a shrine to American innovation, and the Edison2 is packed with innovation from stem to stern.

We Come From Racing

Edison2 is a racing team. Racing as in Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona. We are designers, engineers, mechanics, builders and drivers of very fast, championship-caliber cars, now engaged in a race – the X Prize – to build a highly efficient, safe, and well-performing automobile.

The Very Light Car is an inevitable reflection of our background. We understand how to make a car light and aerodynamic since these are two ingredients of any successful race car. We know how to make a light car strong and safe, evidenced by drivers walking away from very high-speed collisions. We realize the value of simplicity of design and clarity of function.

The X Prize sees this competition as a way to bring meaningful and rapid rather than incremental and gradual efficiency improvements to the auto industry. Not only must the winner achieve over 100 mpg, but also must meet safety and emissions standards, handle and perform well, and have a business plan capable of selling 10,000 cars per year by 2014.

The Very Light Car embodies the tradition of innovation that racing has brought to the automotive world. We are excited to be part of the X Prize competition, joining teams from around the world in creating the cars of the future.

The term hot car is usually used to refer to a vehicle that has been stolen. The common knowledge is that once a car gets stolen, it is taken to the chop shop and the parts are sold individually. You see, at present, some thieves do not simply chop up your vehicle. They have found that they can sell a car they stole without dissecting them into pieces. All they need to do is roll back the odometer and the car would look like good as new. Now, as a buyer, you surely would not want to have a stolen vehicle right in your hands.
