sry mate, but id rather have this variable dampening vehicle instead:

Meet the Mercedes F400 Carving 2002 Concept

http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mercedes/mercedes-f400-carving-ar1214.html

The car's suspension automatically adjusts the damper of the wheels so that it effectively "banks" into turns. Just like a skier, or a motorcycle with flat tires =p

When I say it's my next car I mean I'm going to buy it when my loan is paid off on my current car. The only thing preventing me will be if they go belly-up and production never happens.

Got any videos of that thing in action?

The F400 Carving was just a concept used to illustrate their new variable-dampening technology, which is in many modern luxury cars today. I think the porsche SUV has it, idk, w/e.

oh wow. i just actually looked at that site.
under 20k? definately awesome

i dont like the look of the carver with the exposed front wheel, etc.
but this:


ill wait for THAT one. two passengers? Id imagine that the insurance would be like that ofa motorcycle...

It best have one strong-ass frame, or people would be killed like motorcycle accidents.

Interesting concept though

From their site:

Quote:
Other standard safety features include 3-point driver and passenger seatbelts, a collapsible steering column, safety glass, digital traction control, steerig control, ABS braking, and an innovative front-wheel capture collar that transfers the energy of a front impact to the Carver’s welded moly-steel frame.

Though technically “a motorcycle”, and as such, free from many of the safety and compliance regulations burdening passenger vehicle development, the Carver will come equipped with a full compliment of standard safety features, such as a driver’s airbag, side-impact rails, and a steel roll-cage.

Even with mandatory helmet laws in many states, NHTSA has determined that riding a motorcycle is 33 times more dangerous than a standard passenger car (based on fatalities per 100,000 miles traveled.

Franco Sbarro did several designs that were quite interesting including the hubless wheel
