Easy Breathers

The Hypercar ™

A hyper-what, you ask? Well, a Hypercar™ is a type of car designed by the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) that maximizes efficiency with a combination of ultra-lightweight construction, low-drag design, hybrid-electric drive, and efficient accessories. A Hypercar™ vehicle integrates all of the components as a whole system, making them lighter, smaller, simpler and cheaper. It's like this-a Hypercar™ is to a conventional car what a computer is to a typewriter. They both have the same function but one just does it with a lot more efficiency.

More information on the Hypercar is coming soon, but until then please refer to the following web site:
