Monobox FWD electric car with a 2/3 cylinder diesel engine serving as a power generator. Batteries are mostly used to provide instant power while the engine spins up to speed. Engine and generator are built into a single easy to replace block - ideally air-cooled - that can be swapped out within an hour - allowing…

While it's a great car, and that roof is a magnificent feet of pointlessly complicated engineering - that I may have spent some considable time watching the anouncement gif of... ..that colour. Now, I apreciate colour is a subjective thing - but let me just run you over the questions that ran though my mind: Is…

You know, looking at that... ..is anybody else suddenly thinking we are actually looking at a concave area? As in, they have dished in the rear window Citroen C6 style, or have a set of flying butresses smoothly flowing into the rear window?

There isn't a condom thick enough...

If they do that, all they need to do is keep the same tuning settings as Ludicrous but have the giant tablet control panels UI overlaid with the plaid effect - and with its animation speed controled by the cars speed.

DS3 will probably be reaching the end of its second gen by then.

I see what you did there.

They are gonna get pilloried... ..even more so than they were before I mean.

A VW with £3000 off the list price.

Isn't it kinda obvious?

Cornwall has an awful lot of Chryslers for some reason. Down there you see at least a couple of them every day. Mostly Voyagers, PT Cruisers, Neons or Caliburs - in that order of occurance. But I did once see a Sebring convertible, which is the same ovcurence for seeing a bloke in a foxbody mustang with the worst…

To be fair, the DKW Schnellaster Bus probably has an even stronger claim.

It's later, yes, but has a front mounted engine and front wheel drive combined with a lot more practicality than the Scarab. Plus it was designed as practical utilitarian transport rather than a luxury lounge on wheels.

Can't Turn 6.

Yeh, that's not gonna be mocked at all.

I think America probably is ready to get real citycars, won't be big sellers at first - but if you priced them right you could slaughter the used car market for economy cars.

"Hey, you could go out and buy a used Hyundai or Honda. Or you can take the same money and get a brand new Crosley, fully in warranty and made in…

Looks like that same article has been doing the rounds for at least a year. Found another website, that looks even more sketchy, that has the same article but published in 2013 - with the car as a 2014 model.

Even uses the same photoshop.

Looks like it might have come in with the Speed Six in 1926, so a good 5 years before Rolls Royce bought them out.

Quite possibly the entire factory it was built in.

That's what you have your personal Vallet for; to arrange all these matters for you.

They can give it all the power in the world.
