Concordia 2, a car that was originally designed and built as an exercise in aerodynamics at the University of Concordia in Canada, was quickly noticed by Hollywood producers who have decided to use it as the star of a new film. They have called the car Black Moon and it will be the subject of a film called "Black Moon Rising.” The car is capable of speeds in excess of 209km/h (130 m.p.h.). It has a fibreglass body which is entered through the roof, is built on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis and is powered by a Porsche engine. Because of the low curve of the windows it dries not need windscreen wipers. Rain flows off the windscreen when the car is in motion.
