Yes, it was made by MDI and it has a compressed air engine; it is also going to be made by Tata in India.

But it has a name; what is it?   And whilst you're at it, who designed it?!

Locked for your reply.

it's really OneflowAir! it used o be AirCar or OneCats though.

it has been engineerd by Guy Negre who built in the past a Formula one engine (MGN = Moteurs Guy Negre). A W12 way before VW.

and at le mans with Norma:


None of them actually raced

the engine:




They are located 15 minutes away from where I used to leave! Many people are quite skeptical about the engine though if Tata invest in it it means that it works...

That's it - OneCAT is the name I was looking for, although I know it's had various names including those you mentioned.

One point for you.
