At the 2009 Geneva Auto Show, the Sport Air from Mitsubishi finally made its debut. The latest version of the i MiEV Sport is taller and rounder than last year's car.
Rather than a teardrop shape, it's bubble shaped. The concept has solar power embedded in the lower part of the windshield and the removable roof. The car uses electric drive since it weighs just over 2,000 pounds, giving it a range of about 100-120 miles
