    Why The Prototypes Have To Wait On The Engine

    Well a 3 cylinder engine with a 120 degree crank should be turbine like as it revs up. I guess things like an A/C compressor, alternator, water pump and whatever else it needs to run may add some vibration. I think it would be minimal.

    Another Orlando Area Newbie

    Welcome Velnias, another Orlandonian here. Can't wait to be the first one on my block to drive home in an Elios.

    Motorheads

    And CV joints and drive shafts. Since it will probably do 0-60 in about 5 seconds, might need the MINI brakes too. OK I'm done, that should do it.

    Motorheads

    Since we're dreaming. How 'bout the new 3 cylinder MINI Cooper engine. 1.5 Liter, 134 HP, 170 lb ft of torque at a mere 1250 rpm, turbocharged, and direct injection. Already used for a front wheel drive vehicle. Probably fit right in.

    Hello From Orlando

    I just read at the Elio website that it will be at 405 Main St Daytona Beach (the Tombstone Silverworks building). I was hoping it would be at the speedway with all the other new products.

    A Long Commuter's Dream!

    Everyday on my work commute I see about 80 to 90% of the vehicles I share the road with being occupied and driven by one person (myself included) and the Elio makes SO much sense. I really hope this works out for all of us. Rideoften

    Should Elio Offer An Ecu Tuned For Higher Hp?

    Same here. I'd gladly give up a few mpg for a little more performance. I'll bet quite a few after market items will come available if this thing catches on. Rideoften

    Hello From Orlando

    I'd love to. Tell me when and where. Bike Week in Daytona covers a lot of ground.

    "s" Model?

    I don't think the 0-60 time of 7.5 sec is really high performance. I just want to accelerate onto the interstate without getting rear ended.

    "s" Model?

    I know it's very early in the game but somewhere down the road I hope they contemplate a higher performance model. Something that could do 0-60 in about 7.5 sec would be great. Rideoften

    Hello From Orlando

    Well, I'm all in for $100. Pretty exciting adventure. I've been driving my 02 MINI Cooper S for 12 years and I'm ready for a change. Been riding motorcycles for the better part of 40 years so I don't think it'll be all that much of an adjustment. Rideoften
