Abstract:
1. A motor vehicle, comprising: a driver's seat contained in a cabin that accommodates in width only one person, said cabin being mounted on an inclinable chassis comprising a driver protection structure, balancing means connected to said chassis for balancing the vehicle when cornering or when on a ground sloping relative to a horizontal direction, by simultaneous inclination of said chassis and of at least front wheels of said vehicle relative to the ground, said balancing means allowing said chassis and wheels to incline at an angle of inclination having a value different from an ideal inclination angle value, such that a resultant of forces as applied to the a center of gravity of said chassis passes between said wheels while maintaining vehicle balance, means for locking said inclination when the vehicle is at rest or moving at reduced speed, and means for limiting said inclination to a maximum value such that, on horizontal ground and at said maximum inclination, the vehicle at rest does not roll over.
