Specs:
- 2 passengers
- 0-60mph in less than 6s
- top speed of around 100mph
- 350 mile range
- more than 100mpg
- flex fuel.
- $18k


Edit: added a poll
If they can make it, it would probably sell very well. I'd definitely want to get one.

 

[QueBert]

that is seriously cool, it looks a bit odd. I think I'll get one and find somebody else who has one and challenge them to a Light Cycle race.

really though, I like it. 100+ MPH, electric and not too expensive. thumbs up I wanna check it out in real life

 

[So]

nope.

 

[RedArmy]

I like the idea and styling and such, reminds me of the T-Rex...but only for the three wheel design part. I would however, not feel safe at all in that on the road with other people around me.

 

[R Nilla]

only if it comes with the matching Tron outfit.

Wouldn't be able to see the surrounding traffic, especially considering the behemoths that have become commonplace.

 

[JulesMaximus]

That's pretty sweet! I'll take one please.

 

[Shawn]

pretty cool.

The article said the driving position puts the driver at the same height as the driver of a BMW 3 series.

Wife in the back and kids... see the roof?? Bungie cords
Seriously though. It looks nice but 1 little tap and its probably totaled. Not to mention what would happen to you.

 

[waggy]

i would. (if i had $18k to blow). i think it would be fun to travel around in.

That's a strong vote for RTFA

While the same height and length as the MINI Cooper, the driver in the VentureOne sits as high off the road as a BMW 3-series.

I'd like to see crash test data before considering.

 

[James Bond]

How are the crash ratings on that badboy.

I would consider getting one, except for the fact that I would feel like I was controlling a death machine... A miata could probably take that thing out.
