BMW unveils $10,000, 188 mpg, nearly pollution-free city car
It’s just a concept car, at this point, but super cool.
Check out the Left Lane News article and photos – and crash-test video.
Really unique feature? It has gyroscopic stability and tilts like a motorcycle in curves, giving it extreme maneuverability and super-safe cornering.
Biggest drawback? Top speed is 50 mph. Couldn’t they bump that up to 80 or 90? Then this would be more than just a “city” car. And would be practical for U.S. cities where 50 mph is just too slow for safe freeway driving.
