Here we go. This company makes it. A very unique car.

By the way, I used a Firefox add on called tiny eye to find the stuff I did.

I just right clicked on the picture posted, and it searched back to the earliest time it was posted (that it could find).

So far a handy app.

LOL! That's what I did too. I found the same articial you did, then took the website off of the front bumper.

Seems interesting, and really not a terrible price for a handbuilt custom car with the kind of power they are talking.

I'm really curious about the interior. So far all I found was one picture of the dash, and it didn't impress me.

Thanx.
It feels very "Mad Max" to me...

I don't think the interior is going to impress you..

But then.. if ya off roading it at high speed, last thing you want is this big floppy dash in front of you
The Dash is not something you want to bump your head on. Not even lightly..
On the up side.. For a true street car It has a lot of pros.
There is a many guys on here that could make this sweeet.

I think 'Wired' or 'Pop Science' did an article on this. (Think it was Wired)

Just lux out the interor and you could have the best of both worlds.

I really love the bodystyle.

It looks like they need to hire.....

An interior designer..


The winds blow strange this morning, I'm still blaming it on the dog, but we all know the truth.

Me too. The front needs a truck style metal bar assembly with extra lights, and I'd put a .50 cal in place of that back window.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a real Halo Warthog. I LOVE that thing.

Agreed... and they nearly have (the axles are solid, rather than having individual axles and motors for each wheel like the game version seems to have).

Also, has anyone else noticed they stole the brake lights from a newer Mercedes sedan? (SL maybe?)
