    Obvio! 828

    A Brazilian electric car planned for 2008.
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

    Color combo aside it does look fine. I fail to see the point in the gullwing doors though.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Never mind the colour scheme, that thing looks awesome. I remember old Dacon 828 that was modelled after the Porsche 928. This one looks a lot better.

    Both the gas and electric versions of this car haul ass.

    They might be used for tight parking spaces.

    You squeeze your mini car in the smallest spot left, and instead of having to crawl out the tiny split that you have left because of the outwards opening doors, you just lift them up and hop out with eaze...

    Might be a problem if it rolls though.

    Of all cars you worry about this one rolling?

    Sure it has a high center of gravity, but do you think it'll go fast enough to roll itself?

    Sure, one mistake of a certain kind and you're over. Speed doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it (see Blue Supra, he managed to crash into a 4x4 which in turn rolled), and when it does roll or flip, you're stuffed.
