The name of the 3 wheeled hybrid car that was supposed to hit the market in '09? I saw it on TV the other night and it looked pretty cool.

Specs: That I recall anyway...
It has 3 wheels, and the body tilts over going through sharp turns. E-powered with a single cylinder (diesel?) to power the vehicle when the batteries are drained to 20% charge. Passengers sit bobsled style in the center line of the vehicle.

Allegedly, under full turn at speed it can pull up to 1G.

Apparently so. The one I was thinking of is called VentureOne. It looks to be designed by Carver.

Sounds like the Carver but the Carver is not a hybrid.
