Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Edwins CAD renderings are the visualised a result of a mere 12 weeks of work. The tank size, body shape and engine theoretically will create a landspeed record. The project continues intergrating all that has been learned during the first iteration. A correction, The project was by an Industrial Design Studio group of third year students.

They will need some kind of compressor later if they wanted to mass produce them. Which will no doubt call for some kind of alt energy source unless they can figure out some way to reuse the air that is expelled or the energy that comes with reaching top speed, which should be fun trying to figure out how to keep it small and practical. I don't see it on the road anytime soon though it would be quite the challenge to find something that would keep the compression at a constant without using some kind of fuel and if you where going to make something with batteries you might as well take the air engine out of it unless it would use less energy to run the compressors than an electric motor. I'm sure they are far ahead in figuring out the problem. Hope to see them on the road soon.
