It seems these days that a new ultra-high mileage vehicle is announced almost every month and this month will be no different. The latest is from Florida’s Avera Motors, which has announced plans for a new high-efficiency vehicle as well as release this teaser of the upcoming car.
According to Avera the project has been in development for the past several years, and in the next couple of months we can expect additional images as well as videos of prototypes on the track. All we can gather from the teaser image is that the new vehicle will likely feature a hatchback bodystyle and a wheel-at-each-corner design.
Avera boasts that its new prototype will feature supercar-like handling, aggressive looks, an affordable price tag, and Prius-beating efficiency--we'll wait until the car is actually launched before we pass judgment but we wouldn’t recommend you hold your breath.
Stay tuned for an update.

Any automotive industry experience? Any management experience? Any work experience?
But, he's lucky, a rich dad that puts up seed money.
Another silver spoon advantage: His dad's biz Mainstream Engineering is expert at getting government grants and contracts for R&D and obscure projects.
They're already in line at the DOE and for other (deficit spending) Stimulus funds with hat in hand.
Sounds similar to Fisker:
rich guy, wants to build rich boy toys, but needs taxpayer money to do it.
$25K for a limited production car? Sounds like a plan (uncle) Sam.
