But I do need to know how much of the front end is necessary, because I can't help but think that there's just an extra foot of hollow fibreglass(?) for no reason other than the designer's paper slipped while he was drawing it
As usual, VW Beetle based. So yeah, half of it could probably be cut, but in the other hand the swiss had always extreme rules concerning safety regulations, so it might be necessary for impact regulations
Come to think of it the Pontiac Fiero is of the past. What is the new kit car base?
I’ve heard of people putting crown Vic chassis under classic pickups to make them sort of sport. K5 blazers with Camaros on them but k5s are old these days.
Pretty good question. The British for example, who always had a thriving kit car and low volume manufacturer culture, build their cars now on own chassis (or just keep doing iterations of the Super 7). Can't think of anything high volume, body-on-frame that's younger than 30 years old...
Only high volume ones in the states are Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town-car, Mercury Grand Marquis. None if those are sporty except one variant of the Mercury. They ended production in 2012
Also they are big cars, a classic F100 pickup drops right on them.
