The Future Lightweight Auto

Just read a great article in Jalopnik about a Renault concept car. I've thought quite a bit about the design of the future car, and my version would've used more fiberglass parts instead of plastic, a transmission free electric motor(s) attached to the rear wheel to save weight and cost, and the entire roof, rear & side windows, A/C pillars made of polymer. But I love their design, especially since their the real engineers and production managers.  Alas, unless Nissan uses the design, we'll never see it on this side of the pond.

If you've ever seen the show American Hot Rod, your probably familiar with Boyd Coddington. I personally think that guys a big jerk! He's a great builder but one lousy manager.

Anyway, his shop created the car show above and I sure would like to have something like that. It's called the WhattaHaye and it's basically a Viper chassis and engine with a custom made body.
