Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Looks stupid like every other Future Concept EV.
EDS-IPF Re-Map, 19" OPC Snowflakes, OPC Rear Spoiler, OPC Rear Diffuser, Remus Exhaust, Irmscher Front Spoiler, Irmscher Front Grille, Irmscher Eyebrows Signum Fog Surrounds and Lower Grille, K&N Apollo Intake, Koni Yellow Adjustable Dampers, Eibach Pro-Kit, DBA 5000 Gold Rotors, M-Tech Shifter
I cant see that passing Australian regs if it were to come here aswell !

Wow. That design sure is 'out there'. I quite like the front end. For the back end, I think they were going for 'like a motorbike', but got the scale wrong. I'm not sure if they've achieved the look they were after, and I don't particularly like what they did come up with...
BTW, the reference to 45km/h and learning at 16 in the article isn't applicable here - it's a reference to a European law which classifies a light four wheel vehicle as a "quadricycle" rather than a car, which can be legally driven on a moped license in a number of European countries, and also means they don't have to meet a bunch of other car constructional regulations.
If the power levels are down at the levels required for a quadricycle (<15kW), it would have a significantly lower power to weight ratio than a Tata nano, and could hardly be described as 'brisk'. I would suspect a separate low power version for any quadricycle regulation compatibility...
