How noisy would the world be powered by these?

The MiniC.A.T Air Car has been in development by Moteur Development International (MDI) for the last 14 years, resulting in an engine which will run on thin air. Understandably, MDI say this “could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century”.
The engine runs on compressed air and, with a single charge, will deliver 2000km worth of pollution free travel- although this assumes you’re driving under 60km/h, once you go faster than that you’ll start to burn fuel. Nonetheless, at speeds above 60km/h the car still produces less pollutant than your average.
Quite literally not a car for the petrol head then, but it sounds like great news for the environment. Just don’t tell Gordon Brown, lest he starts taxing us for air in the next budget!
No idea when the car will be released, but it could cost as little as £5,500 according to Metro
