The Brutus. A 2 Ton, 47 Liter 750HP V12... Awesome!

I had no idea something so awesome was every made!

The Brutus was built in 1908 and the chassis was the only thing that could possibly handel the massive 2 TON, 47 liter V-12 engine. Each cylinder has a displacement of nearly 4 liters!

This huge BMW engine which was built for cargo plans of the period produces 750HP at a nearly uncontrollable 1700 RPM! The mileage is record breaking too as the Brutus uses 1 liter of fuel per kilometer, or about 2.5 MPG!

258 MPG VW for only $600? Too good to be true?

YES!

Claims and rumors are flying about a new car being released by VW that will get 258 MPG and will only cost $600!

This thing is called the VW L1. It is carbon fiber from door to door and comes standard with equipment such as anti lock brakes, stability program and one air bag.

So no, it won't cost $600 ... more like $25,900.

It is going to get 258 MPG with it's single cylinder diesel engine which turns off at stop lights. With a mind bending top speed of 74 miles per hours and seating for two, it is a bit pricey.

But that's ok, because when you fill the the tank with 1.72 gallons of fuel it will only cost you about $5.00 and that will take you over 400 miles!

If the average person commuting to work drives about 15,000 miles per year, then with this car they would only burn about 58 gallons of fuel each year! That's only $175 worth of fuel @ $3.00 per gallon!

Take that Hybrids!
