Vapour Vipers

The Alé is a 3-Wheeler That Runs on Vapour and Runs Fast

Two wheels in the front one in the back, this car is nothing if not unusual. Its vapor fuel system is ultra efficient and produces 30% less CO2. FuelVapor Technologies plan to enter the Alé in the Automotive X-Prize for the most fuel efficient production car.

Implications - To get into the details, the Alé contains a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine producing 180bhp. The design of the vehicle is geared towards being light and aerodynamic, which helps with the speed. What sets it apart is that instead of four-wheels, this car has three, but that doesn't sacrifice its performance. To make the Alé even more appealing, it's also a low-emissions vehicle that runs on fuel vapor instead of the usual liquid fuel.

With a cutting-edge design and an environmentally friendly function, the Alé should be a big hit among consumers.
