Has anyone seen this weird motor?



It's a Tango 600. It's driven by 2 electric motors and goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds! All for a mere $85,000!!

Check out the details on the Commuter Cars website

If I had money to burn I'd buy one for a laugh. It would surprise a few people at the lights for sure!

It looks like an Alfa that's sucking it's stomach in, much like us blokes do at the beach when a pretty woman walks past

12sec quarters would be fun, don't fancy an elk test in one through.

I guess he meant the "standard" elk avoidance test the Merc A190 infamously failed in Sweden
