The VentureOne's all-electric propulsion system will have an advanced high capacity battery pack capable of delivering a range of 120 miles.

Powered by either its hybrid or all-electric drivetrain, and combined with its low weight, the VentureOne is extremely energy-efficient, has low or no emissions, and provides a practical and economical alternative to other low-emission concepts.

Both Hybrid versions will achieve 100 mpg in fuel efficiency, and speeds of over 100 mph.

Yes, these are the types of 'pictures' that should be in a 'Photo Gallery' section under a "V-1's Features and Evolution" folder. Newbies can go there to see the history and current status of the V-1 Project.

From these drawings it looks like the rear bumper is mighty low. It would protect the V-1 if you backed into a pole or something, but it doesn't look like it would do much good if you were bumped from behind by a car.

These are early prototype renderings... the whole thing could be very different when we see the new renderings in a couple of weeks.

Ran look at the pic in the countdown timer and the relationship of the rear bumper to the rear axle. The rear wheels not including the tires are at least 15"-16", plus rubber/tire. The bumper is also mid way to the front wheel which is 18"-19" plus the rubber. Now it may not be as big as a regular full size automobile's bumper but compare it to say a mini cooper (below) which uses 15" wheels. It looks pretty close in perspective. As AZEqualizer, mentioned these are just the first renderings and the next ones will be more informative (hopefully).18

You may be right Hardtime. It may be that the rest of the rear styling (which looks great BTW) creates the illusion that the rear bumper is lower. Looking at the Mini pic above, It's not as far off as I thought.
