超级跑车设有一对辅助轮。跑车全速行驶时辅助轮被挂起,当跑车慢速行驶时,液压臂会将两只辅助轮放下,以维持车体平衡。超级跑车还拥有一部2千瓦的电动引擎,以便在低速行驶时替代柴油引擎,从而达到进一步节省燃料的目的。 ' w8 M; g! g5 B7 A! y" E, t2 e" H1 J- X4 K" X

虽然设计师彼得·马斯库斯博士坚持认为,超级跑车是一辆汽车,不过这款新概念跑车外表看起来更像一辆摩托。它采用摩托引擎,车身和轮胎也采用了摩托的设计,连座位也像摩托一样前后排列。 , q, F1 V5 e5 J$ z' h ' m9 J/ J5 U$ u/ g: K. {$ X, s 马斯库斯博士告诉记者,“传统跑车的设计起源于四轮马车,它们宽大笨重,并不适合高速行驶。一辆臃肿不堪的跑车显然不符合物理学原理。”马斯库斯还指出,在大自然里,一切以高速著称的生物都拥有苗条的外形,比如印度豹。超级跑车的设计引入了仿生学的概念。邢晔(新华社供本报特稿)( H* C" Y- I: h$ i. Z. n

It's made of carbon fibre, powered by a 700bhp turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa engine and an electric motor and its makers claim it will eventually be capable of 0-258mph acceleration in 19 seconds and a maximum of 450mph, at which speed it will deliver 17.6mpg. "It is a perfect engine, I love it," says Acabion's chief research officer, Peter Maskus. $ [0 T" |9 D7 F) c
When it goes on sale in 2009, the Acabion GTBO 70 will only be capable of 150mph, but its maker claims the 300kg vehicle is the world's most exclusive; production from 2007 to 2011 is limited to 26 examples. + Y' I$ H- R$ `& h$ {
"As an engineer I worked for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW," says Maskus. "All those cars are inefficient; they originate from the horse-drawn carriage with their four big wheels and rectangular shape. The Acabion is the new ideal of sporting and responsible mobility." The Acabion resembles another enclosed, tandem seating, feet-forward motorcycle, the Ecomobile, although that was bulkier and powered by a BMW motorcycle engine, with a top speed of 161mph, 0-62mph in 5.7sec and a steady 56mph fuel consumption of 68mpg. , V; b: y4 s, m2 P- G ?4 l# d
