I'd put that comment after the picture of the Speedster. But a good progression overall.

The OP's specification of a[n] Honda S600 fits a lot of use cases, but it would be hard to reproduce in aluminum, unless you're Randy Grubb. How about this from RÜNGE CARS:

But with BMW i3 wheels and tires, and a Buick altermotor (#13 on the List of Threads of 2017). Personally, my sky's-the-limit want would be for:



Tub in basalt fiber/hi-temp epoxy (bullet and fireproof), top in basalt fabric treated with Everwet/Nanoclear (ditto), two RAV4 hybrid (twin motor/ software torque vectoring) rear axles front and rear for 4WD, BMW i3 tires on red 19" Model A wire wheels, and a 5th wheel hitch where the VW muffler used to reside for a teardrop trailer. And hydrojets for the water.

If course this would be winched into the bomb bay of a golden Steampunk (pure steam/hot hydrogen lift) Zeppelin, fitted with solid brass Puckle guns with the flintlocks replaced with Tesla coils. With purple crystals for capacitors.

Because why not.
