The ride that puts a smile on your face

Steer it like a car and the Carver will bank like a motorcycle. The fully automatic hydraulic-mechanical DVC system makes this exciting kind of driving possible, lending itself very well to a sporty driving style.

Enjoy the steering and feel how responsive DVC balances the vehicle body for you, banking to the exact natural angle.

Its low weight and aerodynamic design allows the modern 4 cylinder 68 bhp engine to take CARVER in 8.2 seconds to 100 km/hour and to a top speed of 185 km/hour.

Flying the road
You immediately feel at home when you climb into the CARVER and close the door with a reassuring thud. The comfortable seating, the sporty steering wheel and gear levers are all positioned where you would find them in your own car. Even the subdued sound of the engine when you turn on the ignition does not prepare you for the surprise to come.

Only when you look around you start to realise that this is not a car like you are used to. It actually seems more like the cockpit of an aeroplane. You are ready to fly. This feeling becomes stronger when you start driving. Not only does the rapid acceleration remind you of the fun of a small plane, but also the natural balanced tilt of your body during the first corners evokes a comfortable flying sensation. This great feeling will last forever.

The CARVER: How small can be great

These exceptional hand assembled vehicles are designed for comfortable, sporty but safe, multipurpose transport for two persons. The vision of the design team was to create an exclusive, yet harmonious and prestigious design in which close attention was given to:


- A smooth tilting movement for optimum comfort
- Fast dynamic behavior (high g's) in all directions
- A great agility in traffic and on curvy roads with its compact size
- A comfortable, yet sporty double seat 'cockpit' interior lay-out

The result of this intensive and multi-year design operation is the CARVER, with its unique driving pleasure that no other vehicle can offer: the excitement of 'flying the road'.
