If this were mine I think I would've taken a better video of it in action though.

Fit a Duc motor in and I'd commute in that.  [thumbsup]

More.
Really why do we need such big cars?
Something like this done in a production street legal form would be very satisfying and properly put together would be very economical.

I had a dream last night about building a street legal kart with 14 inch slicks and full bodywork. That would be an absolute blast to drive on some twisty backroads. Don't know what I'd use for a motor, I think I'd probably stuff a Ducati twin into it but for organ crushing performance a big Japanese four would be fun.

Use one of the Japanese inline 4's.  Being couped up inside the car with a beautifully loud Ducati motor wouldn't be as much fun, nor would your ears last as long.  These little things do look like a helluva lot of fun!

Living in Japan I deal with tiny cars every day.  between them and the mopeds its like dodgeball on the road.

Those 3 wheelers with one wheel up front look pretty sketchy. I'n hate to do an emergency lane change in one!   :o

I prefer this kind of 3 wheeler... It's a VW concept
