What's the point of that thing?

It's not fast, it's not manueverable, it doesn't have a big engine, it's not comfortable, it doesn't look cool.

I don't get it.

It was no doubt inspired my this. My father used to terrorize the autobahns with one of these. I grew up sitting in the back watching the landscape fly by.

Advertising.
It does not really need to make sense.

Posers.

They probably couldn't afford the one with wings and a jet engine.

I would think that the outriggers would fold up for high speed touring. No mention of that even though I think I see a seam.

They couldn't have cleaned up the interior and dash some before taking pics?

It's simultaneously pretentious and ghey. I can't help but think that people will point at the driver and laugh at him/her, or throw over-ripe fruit at it as it passes by.

I'll have to find some pictures of it but my dad used to drag race in the late 50s and early 60s. He ran A/A Altered with a Messerschmidt body on a custom frame. He ran a blown 392 Chrysler Hemi for an engine in this car.

He switched to the Messerschmidt body because the previous model T body had too much wind drag.
