I am sorry I like this beast! What is so daft about it is the engine should be at the back with four wheels! Pity its in the USA. However I would be seriously concerned at its structural integrity as the Schmitt monocoque seems unmodified. Interesting floorpan as well! I suspect the thing is not really usable in that state of development.

You are not alone! Myself and Stuart also admitted to liking this ugly beast about a year ago, and however much it may be the spawn of the devil, it is unique numerically and aesthetically. I certainly hope it finds a buyer who continues to improve it until it becomes a genuinely usable car. It would be great to drive around in and watch people's jaw droppng!
