At least this one doesn't have the split windshield like they had when they were just called the Consulier. The beauty in this car isn't in the aesthetics. I got to drive one of these about 20 years back at RoadAtlanta. It's scarcely above a kit car, and that's evident with the noise...
but holy crap are these things a riot to drive! It's a tiny car with composite construction and weighs considerably less than a stripper Horizon. Great handling, blazingly fast, and your significant other would despise riding in it. But, there's a definite joy in being able to hand a real-live supercar its ass... then show 'em your Omni motor.
This was not a Shelby-affiliated project whatsoever.
