Not sure if I like that, to be honest. Looks a little boxy, and I think the front wheel arches are a little too high (certainly from the initial view).

They could've done with a view that isn't quite so low or high (couldn't see one in the gallery - the high shots were too high, and the low shots too low).

In the 60's all cars were going to look like this in the year 2000!

I would say its a german design, very Bauhaus, with quite a few hard edges to its overall form....

Maybe they were considering a new rebody for the smart roadster chassis, just like the Project kimber that has gone quiet......

was waiting to see the final prototype on the road, but nothing yet....

That's horrible.. I think they need you Italo!

Yeah I agree… this is awfully close to a 1960-1970s concept flash back.

I saw this over at CarBodyDesign.com and could not tell you what the inspiration is behind this design. To me it looks more like art of some type rather than a car.

Crazy stuff…

That is disgusting, origami left out in the rain. I never thought I'd see a design that made the original smart design look good.

The project kimber thing was going to be a wasted opportunity to design something nice as well.
