Latest on the VentureOne

Our friends at VentureOne are now at the point of selecting one of these two concepts for further development. The Concept D (foreground) is designed to be highly customizable with lots of interchangeable panels, and I think most people would select it over the Concept C seen in the background. As you may recall, these vehicles use the technology developed by Carver to allow them to steeply bank into curves like a motorcycle, giving the driver the experience of "flying the road". At the same time, the hybrid models should be capable of achieving 100 MPH speeds and 100 MPG fuel economy, while the fully-electric version should have a range of 120 miles - enough for even MY commute! They also estimate the cost at around $25,000. If all this is true for the actual production vehicle, then I have gots to gets me one of these!
