Coolest car company ever?

[absintheisfun]

Who'd a thunk a car company would go completely open source with their goods? Let you design and build it? And the prices aren't that bad. Awesome concept and I hope it takes off.

I think so far only one model has been made, but it looks like the company has promise!

Its a smart business model. They are probably titled as kit cars since you "help" build them.

Looks like they are using LS3 e-rod engines.

65k seems like alot up front but compared to what's in many of the cars on this site it seems reasonable.
