I thought I'd share something I'm interested in here.

Has anyone else heard of wikispeed? I read about it in the news a while ago. It's an open source car so the plans are freely available on the web with instructions on how to build it.

Quick specs: The SGT01 offers the following:

109 miles per gallon combined (US EPA cycle simulation)
It's the lightest car ever to achieve a five-star equivalency rating for front-, side-, and rear-impact tests.
0 to 60 MPH comes in 5 seconds.
Current top speed of 149 MPH.
The ultra-efficient gasoline engine is mid-mounted for optimum efficiency of power delivery and minimal energy loss when turning.
4 gallon gasoline tank for a 400 mile range. No batteries, just ultra-efficient use of gasoline.
It's available for only $25,000.
