Local Motors "Rally Fighter"
Really interesting car company, and seems to be a pretty revolutionary concept. A community of designers come up with the prototype. Part of buying the car involves 2 weekends literally building it. Somehow it is street legal
This particular design that is going to production has been christianed the "Rally Fighter":
Drivetrain
BMW 335d
3.0 Liter, Turbocharged Inline 6-Cylinder Engine
6 speed automatic transmission
265 Horsepower @ 4200rpm
425 lbft @1750 RPM
Rear Wheel Drive
Clean Diesel

That is H-O-T! Pretty interesting concept on the building too. Some of their other concepts are wild and beautiful!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
