Its a: Yes, but no.
The workman ship looks amazing.. but now-a-days I'd rather have the OEM.
Maybe if it was a beetle.
It'd be more Sbarro like if the rear tyres were partially under the bodywork?

Never seen the appeal of pop-riveted plastic arches over bodywork, looks crap and shows lack of imagination. Suppose it could be worse, at least it's not plastered in Stanceworks stickers (other crap stickers available) and sporting air ride. Funny the amount of pixels they have used to try and justify their choices based on Porsche 911 fanboy 'heritage', and ended up with something that looks identical to 99% of all the other RWB crap.
thats a lovely Fiat X1/9 Bertone, still have a soft spot for those, specially with a engine like that.
I owned at least 5 of those Fiats over the begin years after my drivers license long time ago.
If I had more space (sadly only 1 garage no drive way ) I would search for such sort for sale, always wanted to try one with more then 75hp as the 1300 had long time ago, I started with such as my first car, second hand and saved for one.
It felt nimble, sporty and 'fast' well, back in 1981 lol.
There was a racer of such in a town 12 miles from my home, that raced with those and about 190hp and ow, his dad had the Lamborghini dealer ship and also did many US power cars.

Luigi Colani designed similar in the 70s - A few diferent prototypes got made, but no-one took it too seriously
Difference is in the TV show that is a fully operational helecopter that could take off from the rest of the truck.Skip to 1:18:28 to see the tranformation

Ever seen The Highwayman TV series
That is brilliant! I wonder how much a central seat design like that could reduce drag on a modern day truck. Trucks are still very brick-like these days.
