As to the Wikispeed ~1,100 lb. empty weight, how does that compare with a dune buggy? Dune buggies are typically welded round tube structures which may or may not meet crash test criteria as claimed by Wikispeed, but then dune buggies have rollover structures but Wiki does not. Dune buggies also have proven all terrain suspensions, whereas Wikispeed does not.
So, in addition to wondering about Wiki mileage claims, I wonder if the modular structure is that great.
