Naro car and Aprilia Magnet
January 31st, 2005 at 8:12 am by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider"
Here are two concepts that are absolutely neat. The first is the Naro car, which is a four wheel two seater. The seats are in tandem and the riders are seated higher than a car, eye height is the same as a Honda Blackbird and the width is just enough to enclose the mirrors of the same bike. Because it is high and narrow, it must lean in the turns like a motorcycle. Several different power options are being considered but this looks like it may make it to production in a reasonable time frame. The designer is a motorcyclist and rides a Blackbird so those dimensions seemed about right to him.
The next is the Aprilia Magnet powered by an Aprilia 550cc V twin. It has three wheels, a seating position similar to a Formula One race car and extreme performance. This is more concept than production ready but it looks very cool and well thought out.

The Naro car is set create a step change in city transport. Current research has shown that the underpinning roll steer technology has real strength. Work is underway to get the first prototype on the road later this year. Also the design is undergoning refinement for production. Visit the naro website for the latest info.
