VentureOne Q100

I have always wanted a motorbike, I love the thought of being able to do 100mph round a corner and leaning only an inch from the ground but although that is what I always wanted to do, that was the one thing that scared me in the first place. I also didn't like the thought of being open to the air around me and then suddenly getting hit by a huge Landrover.But now the people from Holland have sorted all of that out for me. A small company named Venture wanted to make something that had never been done before. And just like magic they did! They have combined the saftey of a car with the fun of a motorbike. Using the latest hydrolics technology they have made a car that tilts as it goes round corners. Obviously It's not a normal sized car and it does only have 2 seats. The seats in this car are sort of set up the same as they would be on a motorbike except they have backs to them. You also get a pretty cool roof as well with a built in roll cage for extra saftey. It is pretty low to the ground as well so although you may only be doing 50mph you feel like your doing a million.They have made it in 3 differant models and the Q100 (the best one) is available now and so is the plug-in hybrid version. Don't be put off by the Hybrid because it isn't slow. I can do 100mph and still deliver 100mpg. They are making an electric one but I don't think that is available untl 2009. The Q100 however does 0-60 in just 6.8 seconds which is slightly faster than the hybrid and electric. There is a downside and that is that there is no boot space unless you aren't using the back seat. So this will probably apply to commuter that want to have fun on the way to work. Prices for the hybrid will be around £10,000 and for the Q100 £11,000. When the all electric version is ready for sale it will cost approximately £12,000.
