garethj Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Surely no credible car manufacturer would design doors with such thick window surrounds as those.Are the doors fibreglass? Thick sections are where it's at if you want a fighting chance of it keeping shape It looks like it would be a lot less stable than a Reliant designed 40 years ago, isn't that a bad thing?

wuvvum Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Another 'leccy machine, this one however has a longer range and can be fitted with an optional diesel engine.http://www.nicecarcompany.co.uk/megatru ... me_17.html MEGA are a subsidiary of Aixam. They have, however, made some far more sensible machines in the past, such as this: It's called the MEGA Track, and it was powered by a 6-litre Mercedes V12, driving all four wheels through an autobox. It had height-adjustable suspension and was designed for desert raids and the like. The picture doesn't give a very good idea of the scale of the thing, but if memory serves it was well over 5 metres long, weighed two and a quarter tonnes and did about 9 mpg. A much better prospect than a silly little plastic electric delivery van IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm amazed it's that big - looks very much like a Venturi to me, which I'm sure was quite a compact sports car. Not that I have ever seen one in the GRP, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well that MEGA is a full four-seater if it helps. That's four seats and then a mid-mounted 6-litre V12. It's not a small car.Edit: just looked the dimensions up on t'Internet.L: 5080mmW:2250mmH: 1400mmWeight: 2280KGTyres: 285/55 ZR 20 front, 325/50 ZR 20 rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
