When Automotive Design Goes Bad

6 Comments

I think it looks kinda sick. Why can't the titles of these things ever be independent as to what the original poster feels. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this is a good/interesting looking car.

Speed Racer is what it reminds me of. I never liked Speed Racer.

it looks like some cheap kiddie toy

What a waste of a good car. They made a usable car into a piece of junk suitable only for the junk yard, or a toy for some rich kid.

If they wanted to make a usable sports car, they should bought the winterized version of the Yaris for it's bigger battery. They should have left the roof on. Then installed a turbo designed for the 1.5 liter motor. Next remove the back seat to save weight. Next install a four point seat belt. Finish up with a roll bar. Any good shop could do that.

What if they wanted to make a real different sports car, they should add more power by installing electric motors to power the rear wheels. The small battery pack could be charged by the motor or regenerated braking, a type of mild hybrid.

Then they would have a real pocket rocket worthy of being shown off at a auto show.

Wow, cool car, if I have it, I think I am sure will keep it cool tourist destination, but it is too expensive, so far I can't afford it, I think I can only take a guided tour groups to travel http://www.dragonflytours-japan.com
