Aerodynamic or not, sure I'd like to test-drive them, but I'm sure I'd rather get an enclosure for the CVT belts and pulleys. On a sidenote, with that rear-engine arrangement, that Bugatti replica reminded me some Brazilian replicas of an Alfa Romeo from the '30s which were made in Brazil with Beetle components in the '80s. |

The US military ordered a number of FMC XR311s for testing purposes and they could be configured to fulfill a multitude of roles including anti-tank, reconnaissance patrol, convoy escort, command and control, medivac, military police, mortar carrier, internal security and forward air defense communications vehicle..............
The XR311 had a rear-engine, four-wheel drive layout with power sent from the Chrysler V8 engine through a 3-speed TorqueFlite A727 automatic transmission and a single-speed full time transfer case.
These vehicles were tested extensively throughout the 1970s and they did look like a likely M151 Jeep replacement – likely enough that Tamiya created their model of it, the development of which likely started in the mid-1970s, before the FMC XR311 project was cancelled.

Did someone forget the high pressure after injection of methane in the flow pattern?
