The Machine: The Energya has two wheels in the front and one at the back that makes it very balanced. The half-doors provide access to the cockpit and also provide side-impact protection. The car is very lightweight and is meant to achieve 0-100kmph in 4 seconds, and has a lateral acceleration in excess of 1 G. The engine is designed to possess nearly 200hp and weigh 350kg.
