It's made of carbon fibre, powered by a 700bhp turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa engine and an electric motor and its makers claim it will eventually be capable of 0-258mph acceleration in 19 seconds and a maximum of 450mph, at which speed it will deliver 17.6mpg. "It is a perfect engine, I love it," says Acabion's chief research officer, Peter Maskus. . ^: D& U$ a6 e( r; ^8 p2 p5 [When it goes on sale in 2009, the Acabion GTBO 70 will only be capable of 150mph, but its maker claims the 300kg vehicle is the world's most exclusive; production from 2007 to 2011 is limited to 26 examples.

The Acabion resembles another enclosed, tandem seating, feet-forward motorcycle, the Ecomobile, although that was bulkier and powered by a BMW motorcycle engine, with a top speed of 161mph, 0-62mph in 5.7sec and a steady 56mph fuel consumption of 68mpg. * L5 D" B6 Z# S- e+ T2 x1 g# K. ^; f; I8 Y1 W: g% k8 z8 T7 V
