Volkswagen GX3 Reverse Trike Concept Vehicle
The GX3 was conceived for the US by the Moonraker team and Volkswagen's Design Center in California. VW claim's they'll build it and sell it for about $17,000 if they get enough interest. Details are as follows:
10 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio (1200lb curbweight), 1.25g road holding, and 46 mpg. It is powered by a tranverse, rear mounted 1.6-liter 4-cylinder that makes 125hp and 112.5 ft-lbs of torque and enables the GX3 to sprint to 62mph in 5.7 seconds. Row all the way through the 6-speed gearbox and you'll eventually top out at 125mph. Suspension is double wishbone with coil-overs in the front and an aluminum mono swing arm in the back. Oh and about that back tire – 315/30 on an 18x12-inch rim. See these sites for more info or search the web:
