Wild looking! The Jetsons are finally here! :3DSMILE:
Looks much better from the back. |
Kind of looks like a suppository!
|
I notice they don't mention any 0-60 times?
How do you get in? Looks like you might have to clamber over the side and then under the lift-up canopy? What happens in a rollover? Is there some escape route other than through the one on top? No rear bumpers? What would it look like in a legal version? Couldn't they make it a tandem so you could carry at least one passenger? |
It's fugly. 'Nuff said.

My Cobra gets 258 MPG...uh, down wind in a hurricane with the ignition off. :LOL:
Kinda looks like a Sparrow. |

The rear end design looks like it was first scribbled out on a napkin by Peter Brock.
...hey, wait a minute, last time he did that it turned out pretty good. :) |
Says LA to NY on 10 Gallons. Where are you gonna get two Americans that will fit in it?%/
None the less, I applaud VW for pushing the envelope! We need vehicles like this for utilitarian purposes. |
I like how all the other cars have there lights on and the VW, not so much!:LOL:
|
Actually old news.
2002 design. The release for production will be quite a bit different. Things have changed. Now it is a hybrid with many options. I think it is excellent concept from a pure engineering standpoint. Maybe not fun for the type of folks here however. |
So Tom. Is that the NEW item at your get together in March? In aluminum of course.
|
Haven't seen you around for a bit Richard, nice to have you drop in.
Ah, I see the mpg may vary with the final design and specs. Still, pretty extraordinary! |
Obviously developed around the remains of a crashed Messerschmitt 109 cockpit.
I wonder if the registration plate 'WOBBLE ONE' is trying to say something? |
Tom,
I just can't force my way into buying one.... I'll have to continue my contribution to global warming. Although... If you get one and put it on blocks for 50 years I bet it'll be worth something. len |
Upon further review, I was too harsh with my earlier "fugly" assessment. It is clearly function over form and asthetically challenged.
There...I feel better now. :D -Dean |
