Ya, I want to do 70 MPH in that thing...
I’d much rather be on a motorcycle...
At least I’d have a chance...
I love how they sell both the Spira car, and Spira footwear, made from the same material.
I guess you have to buy a little trailer to tow along to put your groceries in.
How much ozone depletion would these foams do if this were massive scale production?
Lightweight foam car made for little skinny people with no luggage of passengers gets 100 mpg on flat terrain with no headwind. Yes, that will do it here.....
.....Don't drive this over the Mackinac Bridge!
I think a foam car for teenagers would be great! Or a big rubber
car loaded with airbags!
I luckily escaped many bad (and potentially deadly) road incidents in South and SE Asia.
One main problem is that there’s very little insurance and few drivers are licensed. Another is that commercial drivers are very proud of their “skills”, even if those “skills” terrify their passengers or other drivers.
And as an American in Asia you’re (a) automatically considered at fault because (b) you are a walking ATM.
That reminds me of the minicar Messerschmitt built back in the mid-Fifties. Except the ME had two wheels in the front and one in the back, and this one has that design reversed.
A good strong wind or a passing 18 wheeler would blow this thing right off the road.
That car will NEVER make the auto show. The girl is simply not pretty enough.
Maybe it could be an around town (no highway) teen car. I realize
that would not work for everyone. Do they float if you accidentally
drive off a bridge?
That will make the perfect Presidential Limo. And it will redefine NASCAR. The government will mandate that it be given a 200 lap handicap to make it competitive.
One actual use for it would be to restrict the license of anyone who has has two or more DUI convictions so that they could only drive these things. That way, they could keep driving and not hurt anyone or do any real damage. They wouldn’t survive the first crash!
Interesting. In the YouTube video, it looks like there’s barely room for ONE adult...the sneaker made or of the same stuff isn’t much smaller. And they think it’s SEXY??
It’s a wheeled twinkie.
Nice ride.
A mini Yugo made of foam
In a Capitalist country it will never sell!
