Three Wheeled Car Runs on Fuel Vapor

The Alé car has three wheels, runs on fuel vapors and gets 92 mpg. It has an almost impossible compression ratio of 20:1 running a custom fuel vapor system. With 0-60 times of 5 seconds and a 1.7 g rating in the corners this isn’t your typical slug of a hybrid.While the Alé looks cool […]
The Alé car has three wheels, runs on fuel vapors and gets 92 mpg. It has an almost impossible compression ratio of 20:1 running a custom fuel vapor system. With 0-60 times of 5 seconds and a 1.7 g rating in the corners this isn’t your typical slug of a hybrid.
While the Alé looks cool as hell from the outside it’s a bit of a frankenstein under the hood. It’s got a Honda engine with a CRX front suspension and rack and pinion streering from a Porche 911. The dashboard looks like something the Russians developed in the 1960’s and the front (and only seat) looks like it was salvage from a 15 year-old Prelude.
The Alé runs on regular gasoline and meets all emission standards. Five more pictures of the Ale after the jump.
