Ultimate Compact Car to Launch in Los Angeles

History is Made at an Exclusive Press Conference to Introduce Innovative Vehicle -

Thursday September 19, 2002

WHAT: The world's ultimate compact car that combines latest imported technology from Hong Kong and extensive U.S. market research is

being launched at an exclusive press conference event in Los Angeles.

WHO: On hand to welcome the arrival of next-generation groundbreaking innovation in automotive technology and design will be the following guests: -- Daisy Fuentes -- model, actress, TV show host -- Verne Troyer -- "Mini Me" from Austin Powers films -- Don Carroll -- mastermind behind ZipZaps -- Tuner car enthusiasts -- Kids from LA-area schools

WHEN: Wednesday, September 25th, 2002 at 10 a.m.

WHERE: Petersen Automotive Museum (2nd Floor) 6060 Wilshire Blvd. (entrance on Fairfax) (Parking available at the museum) 323-964-6356

WHY: ZipZaps -- the product of latest compact car technology -- are smaller than the Mini Cooper and environmentally friendlier than the EV1. Phenomenally safe and durable, they are poised to take over American showrooms this fall. ZipZaps use no gas, release no harmful emissions and their engines fully charge in just 45 seconds! Paying homage to the long-standing tradition of street racing, ZipZaps are bound to win the hearts of millions -- it's only a matter of time before young American drivers park at least two in every home.

Street racing has long been a part of America's love affair with the automobile. From American Graffiti to The Fast And The Furious, our fascination with souped-up custom machines has been well documented in media and pop culture. ZipZaps tap into that inventive, competitive and individualistic spirit that is characteristically American.
