Yesterday Zsolt showed me this piece of good news from Hungary:

Meet Solo, the first Hungarian hybrid car. It can use electric engines, solar energy and is equipped with pedals. The Flintstones, anyone?

Anyways, this car sounds better than Fred’s. Its top speed is said to be 140km/h with a fuel consumption of between 1.5 and two liters of ethanol per 100 km.

It’s expected to go on sale in 2012 in Hungary for Ft 3 million (US$18,900). What about here? Dream on! Even if it ever reached Singapore, I bet we’d have to pay at least three times more expensive.

Oh, and if you have two Solos, you can transform them into one Duo within minutes. Now it sounds more like in the Jetsons’ era. But hey, if it really works as they said, why not?
