That’s an artist rendering of VentureOne, a plug-in hybrid vehicle designed to achieve 100 miles per gallon with top speed of over 100 mph! Link

Venture Vehicles, the company behind the car, will be at the Cool Product Expo, a Stanford University event that showcase new and innovative products. If you’re in the area, the Expo is on April 11, 2007 12-5pm at the Arrillaga Alumni Center, Stanford University. Attendance is completely free.

David Abramson of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the lead organizer of the event, said that notable products will include Tesla’s Roadster, Aliph’s Jawbone Bluetooth Headset, Linden Lab’s Second Life, Lexus’ self-parking LS460 and NeuroSky’s brainwave reader.

Awesome stuff! For more info on the Stanford Cool Product Expo, see: Link – Thanks David!

    It's a shame the woman in the back seat was born without legs.

    Very similar to a number of 3-wheel motorcycle concepts.
    Even GM made a great one similar to this that banks while the two rear wheels stay flat:

    Never got produced because they are lawsuit machines. Lawyers would be lined up ready to sue the pants off the manufacturers for producing "unsafe vehicles".

    (would still love to have one...)

    The above 3wheeler.com is a great site to see similar concepts..

    No trunk space, my son would have to cram into the floorboard, and I'd have to have half my weight surgically removed and my skeleton dramatically altered, just to be a passenger.

    Why is the future always so darn UNCOMFORTABLE?!

    I don't think it's even safe! What happens if you get hit from the side?! Gah! You'd get plastered aaaaall over the other persons car!

    There's a reason that 3-wheel ATV's were pulled off the market. What an unstable design.

    No thanks, I choose to live through minor collisions. That thing would explode in anything over 1mph crashes. BTW, where is that lady's legs? Maybe she lost them in a previous crash in that type of car? Wondering minds want to know. ;-)

    Her legs are spread, they go either side of the driver's seat. And it's well designed with crumple zones to absorb impacts.

    This is just a recycling of the carver, renamed and redesigned, I think its the same company although I can't be sure. Anyway, this concept has been around since 2003, if not sooner. Check it out-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carver_%28automobile%29

    about 15 years ago a swissair pilot made a thing called an ecomobile which was a 2 wheel versionof this and it is brilliant.

    it is also on file at neatorama too
