There are really two stories here. First, from my headline is the ability to print a car. Note, only the body is printed. You may already know that 3D printing is becoming common place. Currently you can get your hands on one that uses ABS, Syrup, and other materials as the medium. One of the more advanced units I read about recently uses two substances, one of them that will dissolve easily in water so that the finished item can be more complex than the printer would be able to create without temporary supports as part of the print out.

Printing a car with one of these printers is really a neat idea. This allows very quick one-off production of a CAD design without the tedious process of clay modeling. However, I think the artists that do clay modeling will be upset.

The second story here is the lightweight aerodynamic car is estimated at 200 MPG! This kind of efficiency may be better for the environment in the near future than hybrids. Of course, all electric vehicles will likely be the best in the foreseeable future and who knows what comes after that.
