The Netherlands: The Carver, a Truly Lean Machine, Tilts on Turns - by Nick Kurczewski
Engineered in the Netherlands and built in Germany, the Carver One is promoted as the world’s only available tilting car. Its balancing act is controlled by a high-tech hydraulic system that Carver calls Dynamic Vehicle Control. Linked to the steering, it calculates a lean angle based on vehicle speed and the cornering forces on the front wheel. The Carver One tilts to a 45-degree maximum, which could be handy for picking up dropped change at a parkway toll booth or a fast food drive-thru. The Carver doesn’t come cheap. In the Netherlands a base model costs 48,000 euros, or roughly $68,000.
