(Smart Car vs Dump Trucks)
I'll take my chances with my F-250, thanks
Put your F-250’s wheel square on the Elio’s centerline when you go over and YOU will flip .. it has a full perimeter tube frame (including the roof) very similar to a roll cage in a race car... Resolutes dump truck will crush it but your 7,000# F-series won’t.
This car is simply taking engineering to it’s extremes with normal materials.
1200# (hoped for) weight
55 hp 900cc 3cyl in a typical FWD type package
as a motorcycle it doesn’t have to meet car emission standards ,, and can be tuned for max mpg
with half the frontal area it has half the drag..
the mpg estimates are do-able.
the a/c and am/fm are all I need
my kids have given it a “thumbs up” as being cool...
This is a winner... nothing in this car is new or experimental... true environmentalists should support it (but probably won’t).. it will save me 60% on fuel .. I’M ALL IN...
Looks like the Oscar Meyer wiener mobile.
Btw, my man response is, “my F250 can run over anything” (I really have one).
