Quite remarkable. Unfortunately it will never make it in the US as it
does not meet DOT car rules for all sorts of things let alone side
impact.  My 1973
RX2 weighed about 2000 pounds.


My 2004 RX8 weighs 3000 pounds with the same engine
weight and a smaller body thanks to the draconian  and do good wacko
Democrats:)

This extra weight results in 15% worse MPG at 60 MPH where rolling
resistance is equal
to aerodynamic drag.

The Renault Clio I rented in Europe this year is about the same
size as the RX2 and larger than the RX8 with more room weighed 2100 pounds.
I don't think the death rate is any higher in Europe despite the lack of
speed limits on the Autobahn.

The Clio would do 180 clicks. Renault claims 63 MPG for the Clio.
I am sure not at 180 clicks :)

Hi Paul, Terrafugia was able to get exemptions from most DOT rules based on
the assertion that it is not primarily a road vehicle, more like an earth
mover or farm equipment.
I hope the river does not eat the runway again.

Is it predicted to flood? We are supposed to be in a water shortage.
The mountains already have two feet of snow. The wacko E's never
get it right. "Climate Change". Sunny yesterday raining  tomorrow ROFL

Big storm coming tonight.
