(Click image to see another view) Introducing the high performance, road-hugging, ultra-narrow Tango Meet the TangoIntroducing the world's fastest urban carThe revolutionary commuter vehicle that combines the speed and agility of a motorcycle with the security and comfort of a high-performance sports car. Beat Traffic:The Tango's ability to maneuver through traffic is second to none. Like a motorcycle, it can change lanes to gain advantage in traffic better than any car in history. Unlike a motorcycle, it is safe, dry, climate controlled, and can securely carry a reasonable amount of cargo. Where lane splitting is permitted (i.e., driving between lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic), such as California, Europe, and Asia, the advantage can be staggering. In extremely heavy traffic, a Tango or motorcycle can travel in 20 seconds the distance that cars travel in 20 minutes. Help forge a congestion-free future:The Tango can fit in a 6-foot half-lane with more clearance than a truck has in a full 12-foot freeway lane. This virtual doubling of lane capacity can make the traffic jam a fading memory. Parking:A Tango can park perpendicular to the curb, in left-over spaces between cars or driveways, next to buildings, or in unused corners of parking lots--in thousands of heretofore-unusable parking spaces. Safety:The Tango's racecar-style roll cage design, its 4-point harnesses, its low center of gravity, and a weight comparable to a midsize sedan combine to make the Tango extremely safe. Stability:With 2,000 lbs. (mostly batteries) under the floor, the Tango's static rollover threshold is equivalent to a 5-star NHTSA rating, placing it in company with the lowest slung sports cars. Acceleration and top speed:With over 1,000 ft-lbs. of torque, the Tango can accelerate from zero to over 130 mph in one gear. Without needing an energy-robbing transmission or differential, it accelerates from zero to 60 mph in about 4 seconds and finishes the standing 1/4 mile in about 12 seconds at over 100 mph.

Update 2008.04.04: Our 2nd production Tango was recently delivered to Redwood City, CA. Please see the new photos in the Gallery. Update 2008.04.04: Our Indian patent was recently granted. Update 2007.11.22: Jorg's blue Tango and the red prototype Tango are being displayed at the San Francisco Auto Show until December 2. [Press Release] Update 2007.10.03: The next Tango T600 has been painted Viper blue. More Tangos are being built as this one is completed. Update 2007.06.12: Our Korean patent was recently granted. Update 2007.03.20: We are currently re-engineering and building a batch of 10 Tango T600's. Six of these are destined for the San Fransico bay area, two for Washington State, one for Idaho, and one for London, England. Mass production required to build the T200 and T100 Tangos is still dependent on funding. Production is expected to commence about 2 years from the point of this funding. Our focus remains on the T600 which we can build and sell to establish a strong base for the company to grow from. |
