WOW! Pretty cool but at $90,000. That's to big of a piggy bank for me.

This is pretty awesome. I may be a little biased though. I'm onboard with anything gullwing. Heck, I'd probably love a Pontiac Aztek with gull wing doors.

Interesting. Seems oddly familiar though...

I made this concept back in 2002.

And the front doors were gull wing as well. Hinged gull wings- before Tesla had their Falcon wing doors.

Interesting design

Thanks. The idea was it would hydrogen fuel cell powered with drive by wire, including a joystick vs steering wheel and pedals. Push forward on the joystick to accelerate, pull back to brake. To reverse, there would be a switch at the base, so then the stick would reverse functionality as far as movement-
Pull back to go backwards, and push forward to slow down and brake.

D: Good luck parking that thing anywhere. At least Timebender's has a better chance of not dinging the car next to it.
