Brand Data

Company Name: Chuck Ophorst

Place: Paramount, California

Country: United States

Feora was an American automotive brand that operated briefly from 1981 to 1982, founded by Chuck Ophorst in Los Angeles, California. The brand was known for its distinctive three-wheeled vehicle, which combined elements of vintage fighter planes with futuristic design aesthetics reminiscent of science fiction films.

The Feora featured a highly aerodynamic design, boasting a claimed drag coefficient of 0.15. This was achieved through its low frontal area, teardrop shape, and extreme narrowness. The vehicle's body was constructed entirely from fiberglass and was mounted on a complex space frame chassis, resulting in a total weight of just 505 pounds. The seating arrangement accommodated two passengers in a tandem configuration, which was accessed via a folding canopy.

Powering the Feora was a 175cc Honda two-cylinder engine located at the rear, producing 22 brake horsepower. This configuration allowed the vehicle to reach a top speed of 92 mph while achieving fuel consumption figures exceeding 90 miles per gallon. Although there were plans for a production run of the Feora, these were ultimately abandoned due to concerns over the projected high price of the vehicle, which was deemed prohibitive for potential buyers.
