Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Three-Wheeled Car Boasts a Low Center Of Gravity

— November 28, 2024 — Autos
The 'Dragonfly' is an innovatively engineered and aesthetically striking three-wheeled car, designed by a team led by none other than the noted engineer Greg Kunsch, that puts forth a truly striking take on personal transportation.

Presently a prototype vehicle, this particular three-wheeled car features a pair of wheels in front and one wheel in the rear, with the driver and passenger situated in the broadest section of the car in order to keep the vehicle's center of gravity as close to the asphalt as possible.

What makes the 'Dragonfly' stand out from other three-wheeled cars out there is the fact that it features a front-wheel drive system that helps propel a vehicle that is fitted with a 200-horsepower gas engine.

Although the 'Dragonfly' is not positioned as a consumer product, it is possible that the design and underlying tech may well find its way into offerings by other vehicular companies.
