Acabion: Fact or Fantasy for 2007?

Commercial FFs (and prototypes which could or might yet be)

The Swiss Acabion; a full size mock-up exists but the performance claims sound like pure fantasy: top speed 300mph; dry weight: 300kgs; fuel consumption: 65mpg; 20 gallon fuel tank. Powereed by a turbo-charged GSXR1400 engine, with supplementary electric motor. Oh yeah, and then there's the price. €1.6m Euro; that's one million of your English pounds and two million of your Yankee dollars. Just 26 machines are planned for production from 2007 to 2011. We'll believe it when we see one driving through Paris, London or Zurich and around the old Nurburgring. Lots more fantastical stuff at: http://www.acabion.com/ PNB
