HOW ABOUT THE SINGER MOTOR WHEEL ?
THE MOTOR POWERS THE WHEEL REVOLVING AROUND IT .
NOT SURE HOW THEY ROUTE THE CONTROLS .
THIS ONE DATES FROM 1901 SO THIS IS LIKELY THE FIRST USE OF
AN ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEEL AND FRONT WHEEL DRIVE AS WELL !

It's just a concept but I haven't seen it on here yet. It doesn't meet the front wheel drive requirement but quite a few on this thread don't meet that or the two front/one rear wheel requirement either...

This thread has made me realize something I had never understood before: the only thing truely "new" about the Elio, is that it is a three-wheeler which will be mass-produced like other modern production cars. It is the combination of Mass Production + Three Wheeler that is new.
Related to that; I really like that the Elio has "boring" traditional car lines, instead of Xtreme! Kool! lines, or harkening back to turn-of-the-last century Morgans. I love the look of the Morgans, but this thread has made me almost sick of seeing them
That said, I don't think the Elio's popularity would be hurt if/when kit manufacturers start coming out with alternative body styles for it. I can see a 1930s styling kit as being a pretty obvious development (replace hood, front fenders, mirrors and rear skirt).
