Yeah, thats something. Then again, the ads for a 84 mpg car for 6800 by elio is growing on me too.

well its a concept, and until there is a manufacturer behind it, it wont ever be more than a concept or a one off.

Here he is back in 2010 making the body , he seems to not have made a running prototype after all these years.. But I like the Premise and his design although he may be more of a dreamer and less of a mechanic, how hard can it be to install a motor and a set of brakes.

Well I think I might just delete this thread , I just made a repeat thread , the Car has not changed since then and its has no motor , damnit he was a dreamer with no money.


I put the word out to Metro to Nix the thread.

EDIT: the two threads are now Blended
