A very interesting video by Toyota showing a new type of bodywork construction on their Camatte 57 concept car.

Might be interesting to see if it ever goes into production on a new niche model ? why not a future kitcar instead ?

hang on Italo, Its already made as a kit, is it not very close to the Jester, having said in red I'd expect it to be driven by Noddy & Big Ears.

Hi Dave,....the Jester is close in dimensions, but the bodywork costruction is very different...

Actually for construction of the exterior it reminds me of the old plastic maccano kits for kids from the 70's, if you remember them , yellow rods, blue bolts & red plastic panels. But visually it reminds me heavily of the jester. To me it would be a great tool for schools for teaching, and some practical fun for older kids combining both arts & science as kids would be able to change the outside design without being too scared.

Yes I agree with you, it does remind you and me of Meccano kits as I used to play with it when I was a kid...also great teaching tool as you mention

I guess it's the buggy look that resembles visually the Jester.
