The abacion reminds me of the Mercedes LifeJet (http://www.autotrend.com/9982.html).

There's several concepts similar to the LifeJet on that site, but the Acabion seems a much more radical idea. I've read about it before; those two "training wheels" at the back are solely for parking and low-speed stability. They retract at something like 20mph, leaving you with what amounts to a two-seat motorcycle with almost the drag coefficient of a land-speed-record streamliner. It's no wonder the thing's capable of over 300mph.

I notice all the pictures are rendered. I'll be more excited about the numbers they reel off when they build one that I can, y'know, touch.

Touch, and test-drive, and .... ahem. :)
