That there would be the 1980 Briggs and Stratton hybrid concept with a heart stopping 0-60 in 29 seconds, and that was in hybrid mode (36 secs w/ electric and well over a minute w/ internal combustion).

Yup, she was a screamer all right, but honestly I like the looks better than a Prius.

I had seen pics of that Briggs & Stratton car before (probably years ago in some car mag..), but idn't remember its name.

When I saw it again here in the post, something clicked.....


Do you think they used this as a starting point?



Just read up on it. Apparently the similarity is only a coincidence. The designer started with a windshield, cowl and dash from a first generation VW Scirocco and went from there.....

Oh cool, the Suzuki Cappuccino from 1991-1997, neat little critters that make a Mazda Miata look like a Cadillac Series 62 convertible with a continental kit...so tiny.

Yep, about the size of a cappuccino cup.

The Eliica..........now my eyes really hurt!!

Thank goodness that it can move so fast, that you hardly have time to look at it......0-100 kms in under 5 secs!!

Yeah its faster than sh...errr...poop through a goose, but they really need to provide blindfolds to helpless bystanders.

You're up.
