3-Wheeled electric/hybrid 100mph 100mpg car

Seems like you see these things always popping up as concept vehicles, but you never really see them in production. This particular vehicle, the VentureOne, looks pretty kickass though. 100 miles to the gallon and 100mph and look all awesome in the process? Hell yeah! If only I had 25 grand laying around…

This hybrid 3-wheeler looks freaking cool.

According to the VentureOne website, the 0-60 time is around 7 seconds and that you could compare the experience to flying a fighter jet. I wonder if they will ever offer any demo drives?

Some dude made a Human Powered Car

Check out this pretty kick ass human powered car!!! It’s powered by one to four people rowing on a thing which powers electric motors. Supposedly, the HumanCar has top speeds of 60mph and will be designated street legal for off-highway use and available for sale next year. Not too shabby if you ask me.

To me, it looks kind of OK cool but resembles one of those race car beds that most kids want but never get. I personally wouldn’t mind either of them.

The HumanCar is pretty cool but looks identical to a race car bed.

I never had one of these. The more I think about it the happier I am about it though.
