New York 2008: MDI's Air Car uncovered
Filed under: AutoblogGreen Exclusive, New York Auto Show, Green Daily, Automotive X-Prize
While wandering around near the Automotive X-Prize booth, look what we stumbled onto: MDI's air car. The green plastic-y version that had just been uncovered - I think for a video team's camera - bears only slight resemblance to the rendering that appeared on the X-Prize screen. It looks even less like the previous version of the Air Car that we've seen before. We'll be sitting down with the people behind the Air Car later today to figure out just what it is we're looking at here.
And look at the cars still snug under the covers. Well, kind of snug. I'm pretty sure I see a CarverOne, don't I? We'll know more in a bit.

The version of the Air Car that was unveiled in New York appears to be the "OneCAT" model; the car on the X-Prize screens appears to be the "MiniCat" model. This is based on illustrations at Zero Pollution Motors: http://zeropollutionmotors.us/?page_id=54
