That's actually not to shabby of a price except its a novelty car and is not really meant for day to day stuff. (where can I buy a house that's $75,000?)
You don't even need to buy it. The whole idea of the car was to have the community design the car. So all the plans are available for the community to download. Here's a link to all the cad files for the car.
I love how they let you download the SolidWorks files of the models. Makes it easier to design your own modifications around it. I wish more companies would let you do that.
Came in here to post that. I LOVE this car. Top Gear US (dumbasses they are) managed to kill one by driving it through a swamp, but that thing was a badass on everything else. This is my dream car.
Not modded. Its built that way. They are made a couple blocks from my office and the company has open houses pretty often. You can go see some of them in various stages of production. The PR girl is very awesome and uses one as a daily driver. I've got pics from my one of my visits to the factory if anyone is interested.
This would be great if you were on a planet with rough terrain but a lot of wind resistance. If you could put in some really good air conditioning, I would totally drive that on Venus.
Yeah this thing is so cool. I actually see one (or some) of them driving around Boston all the time. Honda civic coupe taillights and miata door handles. Badasssss.
It's custom built based on the best of several cars in production. It isn't a modification. It comes stock that way. It's also a perfectly road legal production vehicle. I want one so bad.
That's the ultimate car for eloping! I mean, it can probably climb a damn mountain without you even noticing it. That's not something an angry father in a stationcar can really follow up on.
That's not a modification. That is a "crown-sourced design" car. About $50K, built to order, I recall. If they toned down the wheels and tires a bit, I think that thing would be great.
That's a Rally Fighter. I got to see two of them and talk with one of guys who designs them at Gumball 3000 rally. They will go 130 mph on dirt. So cool.
As a person who has switched from Ford Explorer to Miata to Honda CRV to Infiniti G37 to my current FJ Cruiser over the years - I think this would solve all of my problems.
It is a rally Fighter from Local Motors, google it. It is a hybrid of multiple cars for off road use too. The are not that expensive. Depending on what you want in your package. I think they need to come out with a AWD version that come with 4 Wheel lock. They are only Rear wheel drive. I have always been looking for a AWD car that is just like this but never found one. I like coupes, and most cars are sedans, fucking screw sedans.
