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） $ C! ], H, l4 d$ D0 x6 o' U# ~ ]9 ?4 g* q& Z . ~; [3 F3 ]. q5 t( Y, H2 @5 f

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. 9 V _9 e7 Y d' zWhen 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. , V, b8 i t* \' o0 r2 E/ r6 c* Y6 s; [: `
"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.
