 Crash zones

I would really love to see video of this on crash testing, oh gud... with the driver sitting so near the front end,
there isn´t much space left for crush zones is it? + if you hit something the wheel will go up you a##

About the cornering abilities, I am 100% sure that my scooter Peugeot VivaCity corners better, I´m serious :) If it was me, I would have made those 2 tiny wheels at the sides movable so the vehicle can lean in curves, making it capable of high G cornering, but hey that´s just me

Movin´ on to the design (hey I´m a designer, I can´t be quiet on this) Ok the whole idea of this thing is to be fast and to achieve that you need good aerodynamics, I´m Ok with this but serriously why are the windows SO big? If they were smaller and made like one single window (without that stupid pillar in the middle) the whole thing would have looked better (with the same aero) and the pillars that hold the tiny wheels at back, don´t tell me that they couldn´t made them look better!!!

Don´t get me wrong, I like it, mostly because it has one goal: SPEED and they´we menaged to outrun everything on the market-achieving their goal.

i'd love to see how it performs on the skidpad.

with its seemingly sub-200 wide tyres, it's going to be ridiculous.

i think it is better suited to
autobahns, ehra-leissen, new zealand's straight, record breaking runs, nardo, tochigi, and other proving grounds.

and the projected price tag: 2.5 million US dollars.

the manufacturer's website isn't the most convincing for me.

this can as well be the next argonaut smoke, the sci-fi ultracar from the US. or even more relevantly, bugatti veyron.

for B-road missions, nurburgring track days, or donington park runs in a far more sensible budget,
consider these:
radical SR8/SR4/SR3turbo
venturi fetish
KTM X-BOW
ariel atom
lotus (elise, exige,2-eleven)
BMW M3 E30
caterhams
renault megane F1 edition
Porsche 911 (any of them)
peugeot 205 GTi
etc..
anything but these...
