Loremo AG, a German company, is introducing the Loremo LS at the Geneva Motor Show. Loremo had presented the concept for such a 1.5 liter car at the Frankfurt show in 2001. German company Loremo AG is developing a pair of light weight aerodynamic cars powered by small turbo-diesel engines. The Loremo LS and Loremo GT both weigh less than 600kg and offer fuel economy of 2L/100km and 3L/100km respectively. The cars are due to go into production in 2009.

Loremo Has Slim lines and no unnecessary ballast distinguishes the Loremo from all other cars. Its superior safety concept, excellent aerodynamic characteristics, revolutionary bodywork, the linear cell structure, and a radically new rear-axle keep it in form. It combines the economy of a compact car with the handling and feelings of a sports car. The Loremo LS – light and simple is a car which awakens emotions and yearns for sinuous roads.
