I gleaned this from the Bucky Fuller Institute, a recent post:
"The Dymaxion car was designed by Buckminster Fuller in the early 1930s.
The car featured highly innovative, and ultimately influential, features compared with the common car of the day including: a three wheel design with rear wheel steering and front wheel drive, a longer body (20 feet), and a highly aerodynamic design. Success of the design was realized in its performance efficiencies: the car could transport up to 11 passengers, reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and ran 30 miles per gallon.
In 2010, architect Norman Foster, Fuller's collaborator for twelve years, rebuilt the car, Dymaxion #4, constructed by Crosthwaite and Gardiner." No specs or data about the new one. Might be able to find elsewhere.
The bw photograph at the top is the silver Dymaxion car designed by Fuller. The bottom photo is a green Dymaxion recreated in 2010.
