holy fuck! 4.6 V8 lol!!
The MV-1 is a purpose-built taxicab designed by The Vehicle Production Group LLC of Miami, Florida. The name is an acronym for "Mobility Vehicle 1". It replaces the planned Standard Taxi, and like that car it was developed in collaboration with AM General.[1] The car is built in Mishawaka, Indiana, at an AM General plant.[1][2] The first car rolled off the line in October 2011, and was delivered to disabled former American Football player Marc Buoniconti, who is a company spokesperson.[3]
Developed from the Standard Taxi, it is a more advanced and user-friendly vehicle than its predecessor. The MV-1 is the first production-made purpose-built vehicle in North American constructed from the ground up for people with disabilities.[4] It seats up to six adults, with two in full-size wheelchairs. Chairs are allowed entry via an ADA-approved ramp, able to carry 1,200 lb (544 kg) and which stows under the vehicle's floor.[5] The rear doors are 36 inches wide and 56 inches tall, to accommodate bulky wheelchairs.[2]
On 21 October 2011 it was announced that New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission had approved the MV-1 for use as a yellow cab.[6] Because it is handicap accessible, the MV-1 will continue to be approved for taxi use even after the new Nissan NV200 has replaced all other yellow cabs.[citation needed] The MV-1 is the first purpose-built taxicab to be allowed to enter service as a yellow cab since the iconic Checker Marathon.[6]

Originally the MV-1 was to be based on a General Motors pickup truck with a standard GM drivetrain. Instead, the production version has a Roush designed chassis[7] and a powertrain from a Ford van.[2][5] In either case, it has a simple but sturdy body-on-frame construction with fully boxed rails. The engine is the well-known Ford Modular 4.6 liter V8 which produces 248 hp (185 kW).[3] VPG has partnered with Clean Energy, the largest provider of compressed natural gas (CNG) for fleets in North America, to offer the MV-1 with a CNG fuel option. The MV-1 with CNG has an estimated 250-mile range with three Type-3 tanks integrated into the vehicle's design.[2]
Production was temporarily halted in the summer of 2012 as VPG changed their tooling in order to introduce the MV-1 LX, a more luxurious version. The LX will allow the access ramp to be controlled from the keyfob, and also has some wood trim and other luxury features.[8]
