Lest negotiations are jeopardized, the company wants to keep it under wraps until something concrete has been finalized.
Amid the delay in the production of the breakthrough vehicle from Elio Motors, the company has not stopped at all in further doing refinements and additions to the vehicle in an attempt to perfect it before it finally goes into production around next year.
The latest prototype version of the vehicle that was displayed at CES 2015 showed that the car has an added hatchback trunk for more storage. It also features a tablet-based infotainment system in its interior to provide entertainment, music, navigation, connectivity, as well as option control for a rearview camera.
After the introduction of the latest prototype in January, Elio Motors also unveiled last month its customized 0.9-liter three-cylinder engine prototype which officially made the company the first vehicle manufacturer to develop its own internal combustion engine after Nash Motors did it in 1951.
When it is released, the three-wheel Elio car will be priced at $6,800 and shall be offered in seven different color variants.
