Sports car that runs for a year on one tank of petrol [View All]

[tinrobot]

Making its European debut today, the sports car that only needs refuelling once a year.

The makers of the Fisker Karma say that unheard-of level of fuel efficiency is entirely possible if you only drive the car up to 50 miles a day, using just the battery, and remember to recharge it at night.

The car can go from 0-60mph in just six seconds and has a top speed of 125mph - although only in "sport" mode, when the juice kicks in to help power the engine.

While I think the "one tank per year" claim is a little over the top, the car looks great.

Now if they can only make something like this for the average family.
