The GX3 was conceived by the Moonraker team and to bring an exciting idea to a fully functioning concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A motorcycle with VW features: Light, fast, and environmentally friendly, the GX3 shows that conceptually it is much closer to a motorcycle than to a classic type automobile. Inspired by the minimalist design language often expressed in contemporary GP motorcycles and F1 race cars, the GX3 has a true feeling of authenticity. These influences are seen throughout the exterior with an exposed single sided swing arm, aggressive central exhaust, open front wheels and stealthy matte finishes.<\/p>\n<p>The GX3 will be driven by a VW 1.6 liter engine. The four-cylinder delivers 125 hp (92 kW) in a mere 1,257 lbs (570 kg) Volkswagen. This results in a power-to- weight ratio of 10 lbs\/hp 4.56 kg\/PS). In just 5.7 seconds, the GX3 can reach a speed of 62.5 mph (100 km\/h) and the possible lateral acceleration reaches 1.25g &#8211; values typical of sheer performance cars but delivered from a vehicle under the $17,000 price range.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a

<\/div><\/figure>\n<p>The 215\/45 R17x8J front wheels are controlled by a double lateral steering axle. While the front axle resembles the layout of an automobile, the rear axle shows more parallels to a motorcycle. The right side of the vehicle also makes use of a monoswing arm. The engine&#8217; s power is delivered via 6-speed transmission and chain drive to the rear wheel, which has a tire size of 315\/30 R18x12J &#8211; a new super bike dimension.<\/p>\n<p>No comparable sports machine in the world, however, can come even close to the low fuel consumption of the GX3: 46 mpg. Fact is: a production counterpart of the GX3, could be on the market very soon. It all depends on the American driver&#8217;s feedback.<\/p>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">position<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Mid-Transverse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">valvetrain<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">DOHC 4 Valves per Cyl<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">displacement<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1600 cc \/ 97.6 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">power<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">93.2 kw \/ 125 bhp @ 6500 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">specific output<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">78.12 bhp per litre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">bhp\/weight<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">180.64 bhp per tonne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">torque<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">152 nm \/ 112.1 ft lbs @ 3000 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">body \/ frame<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Fibre Glass Body over Steel Sapce Frame<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">driven wheels<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">RWD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">f brake size<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">mm \/ in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">r brake size<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">mm \/ in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">f suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Double Wishbones w\/Coil-Over-Damper Units<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">r suspension<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Single Swing Arm w\/Coil-Over-Damper Units<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">curb weight<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">570 kg \/ 1256 lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">wheelbase<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">2700 mm \/ 106.3 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">front track<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1630 mm \/ 64.2 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">rear track<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1630 mm \/ 64.2 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">length<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">3753 mm \/ 147.8 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">width<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1850 mm \/ 72.8 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">height<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1210 mm \/ 47.6 in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">transmission<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">6-Speed Manual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">gear ratios<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">:1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">top speed<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">~199.6 kph \/ 124 mph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">0 &#8211;
