0-60MPH under 5 Sec. 12.9 1/4 mi. 3-Wheeler : )
[align=center]High-Performance 3-Wheeler
[/align][align=center]Jul 06, 2007
Achieving 0-60mph in under five seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 140mph at 92 miles per gallon plus impressive handling and extremely low emissions, this striking 3-wheeler from FuelVapor Technologies looks to have all the answers. The “alé” (pronounced alay) concept car is described as running on “fuel vapors” rather than liquid fuel meaning it has a greater than 25% better fuel to air ratio than standard gasoline engines and this, coupled with the use of aerodynamic design and lightweight materials is the key to its outstanding performance.
Created by inventor George Parker over a period of 15 years, the alé is immediately distinguishable by the 2 in the front -one in the rear wheel configuration. This design improves fuel efficiency and aerodynamics and enhances cornering with reports that the car can pull 1.7 g’s in corners during track testing on street tires. Add to this the 180hp car’s ability to do 0-60mph in under 5 seconds and pull a 12.9 second quarter mile and its starting to look like a lot of fun. [/align][align=center][:-]Click it below : )
