Did that guy say he put a V8 in a Tesla?

Fuel tanks in the hubs. Clever. Wish there was a way to automatically transfer it. but a clever idea

Jimbuna · 01-02-21, 01:36 PM

It even floats.....I want one.

Commander Wallace · 01-02-21, 02:45 PM

Wow. This really is different. With it's short wheel base, I hope it's light enough to pushover when it flips over.

Cheapest model is selling for about $100,000.

Nice toy if you live on the open Tundra or a bog but it is not a hill climber and at over 8 feet wide it's damn near useless in the woods.

I wonder what new tires cost?

I think the most important question here is:

Is it worth the money ?

All depends. Is a BMW worth the money when all you need is transportation? A lot people around where I live are quite willing to spend big money for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and have absolutely no idea how to use performance. All they want is to spend needlessly for the status of the badge.

That's what i thought

At that price, one could almost build it oneself

Back when I was a young teen and too young to drive I remember my father was one of the first in our town to buy a Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre model and a neighbour asked him "I wouldn't like to have to pay for the petrol and replace the tyres"

My fathers response was "If you have concerns like that then you really can't afford a car like this"

This vehicle is an off-roader and it's there I said is it worth the money.
I guess it run smoothly in forrest and in rocky areas.
