Sort of wierd "Classic Meets Mad Max" styling.
I'll admit, like the overall concept simply because it's so *different*.
That's a Harley engine sitting Morgan-style, in the nose. It uses a Hewland rear-drive transaxle.

cool, But for some reason I just can't picture myself driving down the road in that thing.
 
chassis design reminds me of an Ariel Atom....
 
Why don't any of those type places ever tell you the sale price? I don't even think they've got a way for a person to contact them.
 
they have email link at the bottom of the page in darn near fine print. but yeah... nothing up front to give ya any idea how much.
 
Hmmmm... aluminum tube framed chassis, minimal carbon fibre body panels, ATV shocks/dampers, 2 cylinder v-twin engine, Looks like they've got about $10,000 in it to me (in parts - not R&D - even if it's all handmade)... I'm guessing $35,000+ sale price. Anything more than that, and they're just eating gravy.

Pretty cool though, and yes it did remind me of the Ariel Atom.
 
I think I'll stick with wanting a 2CV. ( I told you I'm not performance oriented)

2CV... you ARE watchin' out fer jetwash, aren't ya? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
Saw an article in a kit car magazine about it today...$50,000!
 
$50,000! Wow! I was kind of thinking that one could get a Japanese V-twin bike engine (with trans) and put a simple Sprite (or maybe Miata) rear out back. Seems like you could scratch-build a really nice home-brew version of this thing for less than $5000 USD or so.


...and fellas. Don't laugh at "performance" and "2CV" in the same sentence. There is a huge 2CV race culture in Europe including several 24 hour races. Since small-bore racing is my gig, I would love to have a go at this sort of thing. "Conservation of Momentum" and all that.

There's many keen 2CV kit cars in Europe too:
