The original plan was to build a limited run of the tandem-seated three-wheelers and sell them for $47,500 to $97,500, with the first deliveries slated to begin in the summer of 2006. According to that early press release, the CV-3000 would be powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine fitted with the company's "gasoline fuel vapor fuel management system." The engine would be mated to a continuously variable transmission, offer 180 horsepower and would zip from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, with projected fuel economy of 100-150 mpg.
