Tar snakes are bad enough without having to worry about actual snakes jumping up and biting you!?
Fortunately, this concept still includes a lot of sharp details as Torch notes, but I can help but worry that this will lead to a new 1990's jelly-bean design trend, particularly among more budget conscious marques.
Too rich for my blood, but I bet Colt Seavers would’ve loved this thing!
Nope, that would be Bohemia...
“If I have to behave myself, I need something that’s more engaging at low speeds.”
Well, hello, there!
He’s an optimist. He sees his glass as half full and his head as (half) full of hair...
The little car seems to be saying, “You like unsprung weight!? I got yer unsprung weight!”
I bet the steering/suspension components are so worn out that the wheels are about to fall off...
Despite being some of the most beautifully designed and engineered cars ever made, Mercedes R107's (and C107's) are frequently treated worse than a 2007 Chrysler Sebring Rental car...

I had an ‘86 as my second car. It was such a fun car, bought it for $600 and drove it problem free for a year. Then it started eating ECU’s and became too expensive for a poor college student to maintain.
CP. You’re essentially paying for nostalgia with this car. Otherwise, there are dozens of other options that are newer, faster and more reliable than this. I suppose if you are a die-hard DSM fan, this is the holy grail...but that doesn’t describe me.

HA!
This is more of a classic car wrecking yard that it is a true “collection.”
I’m not sure if it’s actually their business model, but if their technology is truly that novel, it will not surprise me if VAG or Fiat/Chrysler acquire them in the next few years.
I really want to race on these things. With their low top speed and slow acceleration, I bet it would be a blast to tear these around on a medium size go—cart track!
My First car was a 1977 Malibu Coupe (see pic for a very close example) and my mom’s zany friend bought me several yards of ball fringe that I proudly, and ironically hung around the edges of the headliner
“Still, it is the best of all Citation models...”
That is a dubious distinction - like winning an award for least offensive bowel movement or something...
