What is this then?

It's an Ecomobile, forebearer of the Monoracer. I remember reading about them in the late 80s. I'm glad to see they're still going but have never seen one on the roads.

Very cool in a purely geeky way.
I guess they'd be pretty efficient the Cd must be under 0.15. With a modern engine >200mpg should be achievable.
I liked the comment, "what happens if you forget to put the stabilisers down?", "you won't forget"
That must have been filmed in the mid/late 90's. So £92k in today's money.

When we saw these last month we thought it was a Carver: https://carver.earth/
I did a 3 day course at the Nurburgring a few years ago and one of these was in the bike group (there were 10 car groups and 1 bike group). The turning circle was ridiculous as we learning the circuit in stages this thing took an age to get itself back to the start of the stage. None of us were unhappy when it broke down after two stages. Our view was that it was created to provide a solution to a problem which didn't exist at a price no one would be prepared to pay.
