# Acabien GTBO 400 km/h Under 20 Seconds By POPEYE | Published 2007-03-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acabien-gtbo-400-km-h-under-20-seconds References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/go/7009/) & [acabion](http://www.acabion.com/) Acabien GTBO is powered by a 700 bhp turbocharged motor giving it a power-to-weight ratio better than anything ever conceived for road usage and is claimed to be capable of 450 km/h. Giz Magazine describes, "The GTBO is a two-plus-two-wheel concept. It runs on four wheels at low speeds and two wheels at high speeds. The sidewheels can be ordered as lightweight racing-versions (pictured) or with heavier but more practical struts with a compact hydraulic drive so you can manoeuvre quite easily. The aim is to offer a limited edition, very expensive super vehicle with Swiss precision engineering and craftsmanship and a performance factor that is truly remarkable – the power-to weight of the GTBO is 0.51 kg per horsepower – compare that to the Ultima GTR (1.38 kg/bhp), Koenigsegg CCXR (1.16), Pagani Zonda F (2.07), Bugatti Veyron (1.89), Tramontana (1.74), Bristol Fighter T (1.58) and the Gumpert Apollo (1.53). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High-speed Electric Vehicles:** The growing demand for electric vehicles capable of reaching high speeds presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Swiss Precision Engineering:** The emphasis on Swiss precision engineering and craftsmanship in the Acabien GTBO highlights a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the luxury automobile sector. - **Lightweight Racing Components:** The option to order lightweight racing versions of the sidewheels in the Acabien GTBO demonstrates the potential for disruptive innovation in the racing and performance automotive industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The Acabien GTBO showcases potential disruptive innovation opportunities in the automotive industry, specifically in the development of high-speed electric vehicles. - **Luxury Automobile:** The emphasis on Swiss precision engineering and craftsmanship in the Acabien GTBO presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the luxury automobile industry. - **Racing and Performance Automotive:** The option to order lightweight racing components in the Acabien GTBO highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the racing and performance automotive sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Performance Hybrid Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-bugatti-tourbillon.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Ultra-Fast Wishbone Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagani.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Megacars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar.md) - [Exoskeleton-Free Hypercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugatti-bolide.md) - [Ultra-Powerful Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bo-the-turbo.md) - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md) - [Carbon-Loaded Luxury Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports.md)
