Cheap cars under $ 10,000

Cheap car, not only appealing to consumers or potential consumers in developing countries. Manufacturer of premium cars such as Lotus is also interested in bringing forth the concept of cheap cars.
According to Automotive Engineering International (AEI), Lotus Engineering Division in North America, has mempresentasi their cheap car concept to some of the media and called it "Lotus Engineering World Vehicle Concept". Mean, a car that can be produced and marketed all over the world!
Four PassengersAs a company that excels in automotive engineering technology, Lotus offered the concept is very different than other manufacturers before.
Dimensions cheap cars offered, including Lotus Engineering superkompak. The car can fit four passengers, including the driver with a length of 3100 mm, height 1420 mm, 2240 mm wheelbase and weighs 545 kg.
Design and configuration of the passenger in the interior is different than conventional cars. The driver in front of his own, two passengers in the second row and one more in the third row seat. 255 liters of luggage capacity. Right, how can three rows, such as 7-passenger MPV?
"We use a compact package packaging around the passengers and luggage. In this way, we can minimize the cross-sectional surface of the car to create a shape like water drops, "explains CEO of Lotus Engineering North America, Darren Somerset to the AEI.


The goal, to create an aerodynamic body so that cars become more efficient or economical fuel. "We optimize every part of the car to make it efficient and can be produced at reasonable cost," said Somerset.
For this addition, Lotus will not use resources or hybrid electric propulsion makes the price of a car which was considered to be expensive. Chances are, used 2-cylinder engine, 600 cc engine that produces 50 PS (37 kW). Superb again using the motion of the rear wheels. How so? Yes, the machine is placed in the middle or slightly in front of the rear axle.
"We use a two-cylinder engine, placing it in the middle. With the engine in front of the rear wheels, will reduce the moment of inertia. We are also free to determine the space in front of the car crushed, "said Somerset again.
Fuel ConsumptionTo suppress the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), Lotus engineers to engineer fuel consumption: in town 35.7 km per liter (MPA), on the highway 54 kpl and 43.8 kpl combination. Very interesting!
While the features that will be embedded in the interior, adjusted for current trends. To that end, the instrument panel can also be used as doking gadgets today, such as iPad or tablet computer. Even also can receive information from the "cloud" (cloud) which aired via "head-up display" (HUD).
Also will be a sports version (hig performance) 45 kg heavier than the standard version because they have to use the engine, tires and larger brakes.
As a benchmark dimension, referring to Volkswagen Lupo Lotus, Chevrolet Spark and Tata Europa. While the price, if produced in bulk, about 10,000 U.S. dollars
