Prototype car shown at the Geneva auto show, supposed to be in production by 2009 and sell for EU 11,000

That is awesome. Not the best looking car ever IMO, but I would totally roll one with that kind of price & mileage. I wish there were more details published.

The car's website. Lots of pictures and some technical detail. See if you guys can figure out the rear suspension. I can't...

Seems to be some sort of chain drive to the rear wheels. But the suspension movment is wierd.

Each side looks like a motorcycle swing arm.

SteveM · 2006-05-23, 11:42 AM

yeah, but they pivot to give camber gain. There is some kind of linkage in the middle that I thought was an ARB, but looks to give different camber gain for both wheels in bump or body roll...

Double Phister · 2006-05-23, 12:17 PM

yep. when the wheels don't move together the high mounted pivot kicks in and tweaks things.

those rims suck.

2 cylinder turbo diesel? Hopefully it sounds like a Harley, I wonder what the engine layout is? Looks like it could be a vialble alternative to vespa scooters, just a little more moneys.

Also, Diesels LOVE propane.
