Okay, maybe we're making it sound a little easier than it actually is, but Smith is confident there is enough interest to make a go of it with a line of depositors already being formed. Despite deliveries (optimistically) planned for September, the original prototype is still under construction. The operation doesn't have an official website either – that's coming this fall – but you can follow the progress of both car and company on both Facebook and the unofficial Factory Five forum. Hit the jump for video of Mr. Smith explaining his concept and tell us what you think.
I went to the Facebook page once, looks promising. They were changing the rear end, adding something which looked like a bumper. Not a 100% successful improvement in my opinion, but it still looks good.

Somehow I thought something like 100 people put some money down. I hope it all works out for them, it is a very nice design package.
