We've covered aspiring German automaker Loremo several times here on ABG. Most recently they showed their prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September. They are working on a super-lightweight aerodynamic car powered by a small turbodiesel engine and have submitted an entry for the Automotive X-Prize. For the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, Loremo is working on an open-top version of their car. While it's nice to see them working on other variants, hopefully they will actually get an actual production car done soon that meets all safety requirements. Unfortunately that's not expected until 2010. In the meantime you can check out a video of the prototype after the jump.

I can't imagine this car will ever come to the USA.
Mandated airbags and soon to be mandated electronic stability control (Sept 2011) will add substantial weight/complexity/cost.
And even large car manufacturers are struggling with diesel emmissions regulations here.
