Sort of blurring the line between car and moto, since it is so light and narrow and passengers are "in line".

Alas, for what that will doubtless cost to buy, I could continue driving something far less fuel efficient for a long time. Tongue

39hp 2 cyl TDI.

I bet with some big nozzles and a turbo I can get 80hp outta that thing. sure, it'll only get 100mpg but I'd bet with those areodynamics and that 7spd dsg I can get it up to 160 mph.

i saw a show about this when it was still being developed a year or 2 ago.

i like the idea of it, but for some reason i don't actually like that car. maybe they can send it to the ducati factory to have a soul installed.

Seriously, when i am 800years old i want to rock like Lemmy! it is a religion that requires lots of determination, drugs, and Marshall stacks.

That was kinda what I was thinkin' when I saw it.

Neat concept!  I wonder how much luggage/groceries will fit in the 'boot'?
