# 3 Wheel SuperCars Volkswagen GX3 By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-05-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-sport-3-wheeler-car-the-volkswagen-gx3 References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/sport-volkswagen-gx3-reverse-trike-concept) The new Volkswagen GX3 concept, which was designed in California, achieves a [10hp/lb power to weight ratio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-xcompact) by attaching a 125 hp 113 ft-lbs and a 1.6 liter engine along with 1200 pound frame. The super-sleek [3-wheeled vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus) was designed for two and takes 5.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph. It has a [top speed of 125 mph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-9-gt). I like the chic, sort of mini Batmobile look of this vehicle. **Implications** - The Volswagen GX3 boasts a 47mpg; but what I think is most appealing about this aesthetic and functional automobile is its very affordable price tag. It is certainly a winner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3-wheel Supercars:** The Volkswagen GX3 has introduced a new style and concept for 3-wheeled vehicles with impressive acceleration capabilities and a sleek design. - **Affordable Supercars:** The Volkswagen GX3's affordable price tag compared to traditional sports cars provides an opportunity for disrupting the luxury car industry and reaching a wider market. - **Eco-friendly Supercars:** With a 47mpg fuel efficiency, the Volkswagen GX3 presents an opportunity for disrupting the high-performance car industry with eco-friendly alternatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** The Volkswagen GX3 introduces a new concept for super cars and provides an opportunity for car manufacturers to innovate and create more affordable and eco-friendly options. - **Luxury Car Industry:** The affordable price tag of the Volkswagen GX3 presents an opportunity for disrupting the luxury car market and reaching a wider audience. - **Electric Car Industry:** The Volkswagen GX3's impressive fuel efficiency presents an opportunity for disrupting the electric car industry and providing an eco-friendly alternative for high-performance cars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars.md) - [Electric Three-Wheel Roadsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheel-roadster.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [High-Performance Hatchback Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-volkswagen-golf-r-333-limited-edition.md) - [Sporty All-Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-idx-performance.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1.md) - [Electric Sporty Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-v.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike1.md)
