The 130 MPG INGOCAR is a medium size 5-seat passenger car, driven by a new Hydrostatic Powertrain.
The car and its powertrain are significantly more efficient, lighter and powerful.
The car drives like a conventional car with an automatic transmission.
However, fuel consumption, emissions, and safety are significantly better.
Driving performance and comfort have improved, too.

The 130mpg INGOCAR will participate in the competition of the Automotive
X-Prize. The Ansari X-Prize for the ‘First Privately
Developed Reusable Spacecraft’
has generated $120 million of earned media according to the X-Prize Foundation.
Developing a 130 mpg family sedan is for the common good and will
draw extraordinarily international attention to the car and its
sponsors. Building two cars for the X-Prize competition requires $5.7
million. To encourage sponsorship, advertisement space will be provided
on this very 'Green' automobile.
Also, the Hydrostatic Powertrain is listed in the Top 100 Technologies of the
New Energy Congress. Some expert validation has been received in a response through an
advertisement in the New York Times from February 16, 1996:
