While the Sparrow reminded me of a gigantic shnoz, this one reminds me of a fish (one of those tall, skinny ones, not a blowfish).
Would you want to do 150 MPH (top speed) in this thing? Or 0 to 60 in 4 seconds?
Amazingly, it is not easy to tip.

I see it now, yes. One of those decorative fish you get in aquaria and advertisements.
If it’s stable, I could see doing 150 in it just for the fun. Crashing can’t be as bad as wiping out on a crotch rocket…
I just wish it wasn’t $80,000. That’s a lot of train tickets, that is…
Besides, the Sparrow was more of a “jelly bean”:http://www.casadelgato.com/EV/MySparrow.htm than a shnoz. At least the original one was…
Looks like it got squeezed between a couple of buildings and/or bigger cars to me — like that bus on harry potter.
$80k first, so they have some working captital. Then if everything turns out as they optimistically hope, you can get a Tango T100 for $18,700 (with $500 deposit) in 2007. Fiberglass, instead of carbon fiber, cloth seats instead of leather, and 0 to 60 in 7 seconds instead of four (among other differences).
Oh yeah — to me the early Sparrows just look like Nixon’s shnoz.
OK, then. Hopefully they’ll still be around in 2007, unlike the Sparrow’s creators. :(
