Damn that IS low.

This car makes no sense to me. Why would you have a car dropped down like this? Won't it just get fucked up?

That car would last about 2 minutes on New England roads before it was practicly stuck in a pothole. I think the car looks really cool, but in function, its retarted.

i think it looks awesome.
wildly impractical, but awesome looking.
i bet it literally has no springs in it.
the ride must be real comfy.

That thing wouldn't make over the speedbumps at my old place.

it would handle fucking awesome i bet tho

i wouldnt want to risk bottoming out in such an expensive car.
it does look cool as hell but it probably is parked more than anything.

see, that's what hydraulics are for.
park it low, drive it not quite as low!

I agree with pretty much everything already said. Looks good but impractical.

I'm more of a truck girl.

is that true?? Hydraulics in a car actually serve a purpose beyond bouncing up and down at stop lights?

I honestly didnt know thats what they were for.

That car is obviously on air ride. You don't drive it that low. LOL.

It sits low when parked and then goes up to a drivable hight when moving.

MM.

yeah, with hydraulics, you can simply raise and lower the body of the car, straight up and down, or you can do the corners - like drop the back left, raise the front right. then you can also get into all that hoppin' business, but that requires tougher equipment and more batteries. i appreciate all the hopping and three wheeling, but i'd never do it. i just like low cars. of course, i drive a hyundai...

I think it looks great, if a bit impractical. I was at the Bangkok internation motor show a couple days ago and saw some 5-series bimmers that low- I saw them drive in at that height but they must have been bagged, or at least on coilovers that were dialed down for the show, anything other than a parking lot would have killed them. Also some some old school American muscle riding at about the same height. There were some really cool cars at the show, I'll post pics when I'm home in a few days.
