The Airpod is a new entry into the alternative car market. It’s small and futuristic looking like many other models, but with one key difference: it runs on air.

Sound too good to be true? Well it’s no joke. India’s Tata Motors is developing the concept car that contains a pneumatic motor that uses pressurized air to drive the pistons. Aside from the “free” fuel, emissions are virtually non existent.

It’s a tiny little three-seater designed for urban driving. The small size also helps the power generated from the engine better propel the car. It holds about 175 liters of air that will take you about 125 miles; Tata reports top speeds of around 50 mph.
