Now that's kawaii. Not much clue at Pelican Parts, but I did find an article, that is translated here. It's a 2005 reproduction of a 1966 car. The original was white.

Fascinating car. Too bad it didn't finish that race.

A modern interpretation did actually finish its own race. In first place.


Won unlimited at Pikes' Peak... of course, that was after Monster Tajima moved over to electrics. Still cool. Hayabusa-based V8 sitting on one side, driver on the other. chain-driven all-wheel drive.

OSI Silver Fox (1967) from http://http://www.carstyling.ru/de/entry/OSI_Silver_Fox_1967/

Also:

Palatov Motorsport

Edit:
I think Burt Rutan's BiPod is the most viable flying car evah.

It is. He's done a whole lot with that design over the past few years. Fascinating project.
