The rear

How the doors opened

This was designed by Marcello Gandini, the same genius behind the Lamborghini Countach.

PriorProject,

Those doors are insanity. Weird find, love it.

I like to think that there is a ramp that comes out from nowhere, a la Star Wars, that allows for a sweet entrance and exit of the vehicle.

My two favorite things about this car are the split windscreen (actually not an unreasonable choice at the time, as laminated safety glass has to be custom-molded for regular car windscreens, and the tooling for that would have been cost-prohibitive for a projected run that might not reach double digits) and the backwards-facing NACA ducts arranged as extractors for airflow through the radiators (they don’t actually work in reverse like that, but I guess in 1993 a low-volume manufacturer was probably doing aerodynamics by seat of their pants).

Can I get an EV version of this?

He hasn’t talked about this one yet, the Consulier GTP seems to be the only Mosler car featured on his channel so far.

Reminds me of the vaporware Aptera crossed with a 1980s Dustbuster.

usualsuspect191,

Reminds me of a Golden Tortoise Beetle

I bet it would score well in a crash test

Edit: well, not will

mindbleach,

Has a crash test rating of Don’t.

Plopp,

Score will? As in guaranteed death? Lol. Either way yeah I was gonna say it would look very out of place today given today’s crash protection standards.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Oops, typo fixed.

Yeah, not sure it would be better than a motorcycle in a crash.

i like it but it looks like it would be a death trap in an accident

This is the weirdest coincidence. I was sitting in the park earlier and a guy pulled up in one of these: https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/16999ff2-134e-4f60-a14e-5987d2035b6a.jpegThe closest thing I have ever seen in rural Midwest US was a Smart car, or a Reliant Robin on Top Gear. I thought about talking to the guy but he was playing basketball with his kid.

I tried to think of how to look up the car when I knew nothing about it, but Google Lens was my only idea and I didn’t want to take pictures of the guy’s car like a creep.

So I decided to scroll Lemmy for a couple minutes and landed on here. I clicked your link for the Isseta and that was it. Any other app and I would have assumed my phone was spying on me. Wild.

CookieOfFortune,

Was it the Aging Wheels YouTube guy?

adhocfungus,

I just looked him up. The face is almost exactly the same, but the guy at the park was much skinnier.

Wow that’s actually kinda wild lol. I’ve never seen an original Isetta irl.
