The Loremo LS features a 20 HP, two cylinder diesel engine, a 100 MPH top speed, and fuel economy of 120 MPG. The Loremo GT gets a 36 HP, three cylinder diesel engine, a 125 MPH top speed, and fuel economy of around 80 MPG.

Considering these figures I doubt that the acceleration figures for these cars would be less than impressive.

Therefore I think a more appropriate warning would be;

Don’t get hit by anything.

(such as tortoises, snails, lame opossums and the like)

They will use a calendar to measure the zero to sixty times.

I think you are right....too small and not enough power...

Years ago i talked here and there with several inventors who had working models of transmissions and more fuel efficient engines that could produce 100 MPG cars with full sized engines..Problem is that every time a patent would come out, Detroit would snap it up and that would be the end of the fuel efficient engine...For that reason i say that if Detroit dies, it will be by it’s own hand..They deliberately held back progress..Why ?..Only the shadows know and the chiefs at Detroit..

My 82 Mercedes 240D has 65 horsepower and I get beat off the line by casual foot traffic.

I have to take the truck lanes up steep hills.

36 HP? Only a moron would buy one.
