Funny......the dimensions are not that far off from the vintage Austin Mini I have which seats four. That is 120" x 55.5". The engine is 848cc and front wheel drive. Puts out only 34hp at the fly wheel.....but it screams!!

Had a 65 VW bug (6volt system) back in college. Tuned up it would get 38mpg on the highway. For me at the time it was a great vehicle....got me through the early 70's Oil Embargo cheap.............
