虽然超级跑车曾经在测试中达到每小时550公里的惊人速度，为了安全起见，设计师将它的最大驾驶时速限定在每小时470公里。即便如此，这一速度还是远远超越了“布加提威龙”跑车创造的每小时407公里的公路最快速度世界纪录。 & H& W' }: D9 L3 X* w) a! h; O. ] 6 n" V& [- m& N* @. ~$ u- a 引擎容量只有1.4升! c0 F. a' s1 T* Y- K$ ]( s; N

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。% F5 n! _9 ^: s" O6 M

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. " _, @% d" ~5 c6 x9 QWhen 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. ! M- D0 K, }) R' j N"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. - u% ^ n: @6 U& D& Z% T$ u8 f) ~/ e5 _% k/ S' Y- h" r, m
