Elio Motors brings refined 84 mpg P5 trike to LA

Quote:
The P5 is the Elio vehicle we've been hearing about since the summer, the one with the 0.9-liter engine by IAV using a design from Elio. On the efficiency front, Elio has long said that this vehicle will get 84 miles per gallon. Elio admitted today that the software testing shows that the P5 is getting 81.6 mpg. As for the finished product, he said it will "definitely" be over 75 mpg, but that he hopes it'll be over 80 and everyone is shooting to hit the 84 mpg target. Elio is saying it will launch the trike by the end of 2016, so the 47,000 people who have made a pre-order can perhaps pencil in a delivery date around 12 months from now.
Here are a few more engine pics. Looks a lot like an updated Metro G10 engine.
