LAS VEGAS—In the not-too-distant future, we may all be zipping around in sleek, fuel-efficient three-wheeled vehicles.

First we saw the Toyota iRoad, a dual-passenger "Personal Mobility Device" that turns on a dime and is faster than a bicycle, yet is safer than a motorcycle. Now, another three-wheeled, two-passenger vehicle sits in the middle of a grandiose ballroom at the Wynn Las Vegas during CES.

Created by Elio Motors, this new vehicle doesn't yet have a catchy name—though Elio Motors' CEO and founder Paul Elio affectionately calls it the "E." The car looks pretty slick. It's got a swooping silver nose, two slim tires sticking out from the front like you'd see on a drag racer, and a third wheel tucked under the back end. The E is half the width of a regular car, but nearly as long, which makes it look a tad noodle-y and stretched out.
