| 100 MPG Leaning Naro Car |
| Written by Hank Green | ||

The Naro car is a 100 mpg city car that incorporates some extremely intelligent engineering into an unfortunately golf-cart-like package. While the ability to lean into turns for traction, and get over 100 mpg in city traffic are excellent feats, the car might not have the mass-appeal that it could have. The Narrow Motor Company, who is making the car, expect it to be adopted as a delivery vehicle, which I see as an excellent market. And while they have big dreams, they don't expect to sell more than 5,000 a year for the first few years at the rather steep price of $10,000. Via: Envautomental

Narrow should look on the bright side. People make emotional decisions when buying and then justify with logic. This principle is evidenced by the nymber of non-utilitarian motorcycles on the road, and many of the BMW and Mercedes drivers(in the U.S.) who say the bought the cars for their superior safety. The naro can be thought of as emotional and prone to our psychosis of always needing to go faster. My bet is that they won't be able to make'em fast enough at $10K.

I am excited about the concept of a leaning car. As a general consumer living in the country, it would not be attractive however. If you ever develope a leaning vehicle that can give me the motorcyle feel, with a retractible conopy and touring capabilities, I would be Interested. Many Motorcyclists in the USA now driving Goldwings, love the open feel of a motorcycle and leaning into turns, but you are limited to weather conditions on long trips accross country. A leaning vehicle, long and sporting looking with the capacity for two persons(like a cycle)to ride in open or protected from the elements would excite many cyclist today.
Look at the success of the Goldwing and think of that with a retractable canopy and 4 wheels. If you develop it and market it for 20k in the US, it will sell. The closest thing available today is the Carver, but it is enclosed and does not offer the open air capability, and side saddles or trunk, or the stability of 4 wheels. Plus they want 45K for it. I wish you much success with your Naro.
