AS A THRILL RIDE
As cars become smaller and sleeker with our changing energy needs, the experience of driving is likely to morph too. Enter the VentureOne, from a California manufacturer and a Dutch engineering firm. It's one of half a dozen three-wheel concept cars being developed that combine the fuel savings of hybrids with the excitement of riding something like a motorcycle. In this case, the car is the same height and length as a Mini Cooper, but the car's pilot--er, driver--is enclosed in the single front seat by a glass canopy. (Another passenger can sit in the single backseat.) And on a quick turn--yee-ha!--the vehicle tilts to one side. The cars are priced at about $25,000 and go on sale in early 2010.
The Tesla one is interesting...lots of power and conventional car styling in an all-electric car...will be interesting to see how much of this moves beyond concept to mass production...
