Great to see the Germans thinking outside the square with a totally radical
designed vehicle and away for the Model T Ford engine. Whilst not most
drivers cup of tea, it could be a turning point for the design of cars to
come. I'd imagine with 2 on board the 0-100kmh time would be in the minutes
and not seconds. However with a bigger engine and body together with a fuel
consumption in the vicinity of 100mpg, it could be more marketable.
The following piece (taken from the post) is a bit difficult to get my head
around, anyone care to help? Quote< "The engine is positioned just ahead of
the rear axle and is mated to an all-new 6-speed manual transmission that
shifts automatically." ........ Now is that double Dutch or double German???
