One thing that we have not talked about in depth is the practical values of the Vincitore' 1000 (VK). In this blog we will highlight these to give people something to think about regarding selection of a high MPGe automobile.
Four Doors, Four Seats, Four Wheels:
Easy access for adult passengers. (George is 6'4" tall)
Seating for four adult passengers, with comfort.
Stable platform for safe driving and sure handling.
Ample trunk space

Excellent economy without resorting to hypermiling techniques.
Great torque for climbing hills or pulling a load, such as a jet ski or Parade Float.

Long Range, the VK can travel up to 1000 miles on a tank of fuel. That means non stop until the tank is empty. Drive coast to coast with 3 fill ups.

Reliability, Diesel engine is very simple and thus reliable. Starts easy and is ready to go quickly.
Maintenance is easy and mechanics will appreciate the drivetrain access.
Comfort:
The VK has basic accessories such as Air Conditioning, Heat and Defrost, bucket seats, radio and windows that roll down.
The VK was designed as a daily driver and has met and exceeded this role since being assembled. It is not a concept, but a reality at a cost less than $20K. As a commuter car, a fleet car or a family car, the VK can do it all. On or off road when hauling people, luggage and trailers, the VK is nothing, if not Practical!

I liked the way you have described the main functions of this car. This is a really nice post and I would definitely expect more interesting topic in near future

George,
ReplyDeleteNicely put.

It is an extremely practical car. Diesel and bio-diesel power Europe. It will be a good day when we see those fuels more prevalent in the US.
