For the last few years, BMW
and University of Bath have been hard at work on the CLEVER — a compact
fuel-efficient vehicle for city driving. Somewhat overshadowed this
week by the launch of the 2007 3-Series Coupe, BMW
on Friday released the first images of the completed CLEVER. As the
name — Compact Low Emission Vehicle for Urban Transport — suggests, the
aim of the project was to create a vehicle that was practical, safe,
and environmentally-friendly.
Unlike the Volkswagen GX3 Concept
— with one rear wheel and two front wheels — the CLEVER has two rear
wheels and one front. If it ever makes it to production, the vehicle is
expected to cost around $10,000 and would have a top speed of 50 mph.
One fascinating aspect of the vehicle is its unique tilting design for
stable, motorcycle-like cornering. See a full photo gallery, more
details, and some crash test videos after the jump… Updated: New video added of another similar concept…
