Seems to be based on a Tesla Model S, it's good to see electrics and hybrids being embraced by the performance community, lessens the anxiety that cars will be boring in the future.

All I can think of when I hear Vega (not talking about Ray ) is the description I read about them being "made out of compressed rust" and they were prone to just disintegrating if you drove through a big enough pothole.
To be fair, everything rusted back then, and some of the most beloved brands today (Honda, Toyota, Datsun (Nissan) ) were incredible rust buckets back then.

That's a Tatra 87. Jay Leno also has one.

That's a DKW. It was sold under the Auto Union "umbrella" (merger of DKW, Audi, Horch and Wanderer - 4 brands, hence 4 rings) which later, and after the merger with NSU, became Audi NSU Auto Union and, some years on, simply Audi (in 1985).

I'm not sure what this is but I think from the lack of a front grill for air intake and the air grills on the back fender is some version of a Corvair with an air cooled engine?
[/QUOTE]
Yup, that be a Corvair. One of the more expensive ones. Most of the ones that one saw were the epitome 'plain Janes.'
I must admit, I did have to do a Google to be sure...LOL.
Ref that pic of George Barris, GOOD EYE!
