What kind of car is this?
We travel long distances on highways with this car. Typically 1500 miles in two days. That is why we are keeping speed and why aerodynamics is very important.

With 4 bike bike rack behind is 19 ft long, but only five and half feet tall.

Factory built engine and body is optimized for 80 mph (130 km/h).

It is a 7 seat MPV built on protective special steel frame from glass fiber. Second and third row seats are easily removed. In Grand model there is 2 ft trunk space behind last line.
