The Best Selling Hybrid Car. Over 35,000 Toyota Prius hybrid cars have been sold in Japan. Launched on October 14, 1997, the automobile combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric generator which halves emissions and cuts smog chemicals by up to 90 per cent. Toyota designed the Prius as a more environmentally friendly car than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, without losing out on performance, price or comfort. The Prius was launched in the USA in summer 2000.
The lowest car is a radically modified Austin Mini, named `Lowlife` by its creator, Perry Watkins of Aylesbury, England. Measuring 60 cm (24 in) from the ground to roof, with 2.5-cm (1-in) ground clearance, it was completed in October 1999. Despite its diminutive size, the project cost $15,800. It took 18 months to plan and a further three years to build. Based around a 1967 Austin Mini, parts of a further three Mini bodies were welded into the final shell.
