Acabion GTBO 35



The Acabion GTBO 35 is a concept car with two seats and a drop-shaped body. The passenger is placed behind the driver. Power is provided by a 1300cc turbocharged 4 cylinder gasoline engine capable of putting out 500 and 750 horsepower also with everything in between those figures, and is mounted behind the passenger compartment. Under normal conditions the Acabion concept drives on its two main wheels like a motorcycle, but at low speeds or if balance is lost at high speeds the two side wheels are designed to lower themselves automatically to aid stability.

Awards

The Acabion electric-drive concept was awarded with the German future-award 2008 as the best prototype of the year.(Zukunftsaward, Frankfurt Main, www.zukunftsinstitut.de).

Performance
The designers claim that the 2009 GTBO concept car weighs 340 kg (750 lb) and has a 750 hp gasoline engine, resulting in a power to weight ratio of 2,200 horsepower (1,600 kW) per ton.
