A city car without hybrid drive, to recover the kinetic energy while braking? FAIL! Not to mention about an battery electric drive. I think it would be nativity to think that Shell would pay for a concept which have anything to do with an electric drive.

Looks like something Disneyland would design......a toy car.

Needs an enticing colour scheme; romper-room red, yellow, & white is dreadful - looks like a Noddy car.

For a car specifically designed for economy, that is limited in performance and had practicality constraints, this is a truly dreadful effort. I'm astonished that they have even shown it, or anyone has taken credit!
You can get almost that fuel economy from a 1.2l Peugeot that is not hamstrung like this carbuncle.
Unless someone has missed a '1' from the front of that figure, so it should read 189.1 mpg at 45mph, then forget it. Worse than a Sinclair C5...

Looks like a cartoon faced car from "Cars". The main things I dislike in petrol run cars are filling them up all the time and all the requisite and costly maintenance. Mainly oil changes which are naturally another revenue stream for big oil, go figure. The quicker we go to full on electric the better off we all will be. I own two hybrids but the next car will be an electric car. We will be able to do probably 90+% of our mileage on just electricity since we are like most of the public, doing the vast majority of our driving in the city.

I thought designers were moving away from the stupidity of driving wheels directly from an inefficient reciprocating friction engine via costly and inefficient clutching and a mish-mash of never-quite-the-right-gearing. If you're going to design a tall, narrow, light vehicle at least put some batteries low to the ground to stop the thing blowing over in a cross-wind. While you're at it, add an electric motor to drive the wheels, dump the gasoline dinosaur technology and the heavy, inefficient drive-train and all the associated minimally effective components that pretend to reduce pollution and do the job properly.

I think I'd be worried about getting out in the event of a front end crash.

Nice size, clever interior, but why on earth would they use an internal combustion engine? Oh, right, it's Shell.

Why are people still trying to build something that is not needed? The 100+ mpg car is already here. It's called an electric car. And it's BETTER, more efficient and cleaner than any 89 mpg gasoline car. And it will perform better and be safer.
Yes, the price is not there yet, but it will be within a decade. Autonomous electric cars that does not use energy while stuck in traffic will be way more efficient than any gasoline car. And it will be safer without looking like a clown-car.
This car will not see the light of day. Wasted effort. In 10 years people will laugh when seeing that garbage like this was even considered.

Shell....typical, I never by gas there, nor will ever...
