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. / J, L( k: J; Q- i' N3 M: P"As an engineer I worked for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW," says Maskus.
