Maybe someone in this forum could design a low-cost version?

Yes, I could. But would any one buy it?

I don't know if it is an optical illusion, a lower seating position (?), side door, or higher chassis side members, but it appears the driver is
enclosed by the car to neck level.
That yellow car is a bit OTT, though I like the higher bodywork. The rear end is incredibly ugly, but I like the front/side profile. With the higher
sides, it not only looks like a proper car rather than a skateboard, but would offer some extra protection from flying debris at least. If the flimsy
looking doors were despensed with and the sides made continuous, then it would offer significant protection.
Being so much higher, the width of the car would have to be increased to allow full movement of the arms within the confines of the car. A much better
looking and functioning alternative.
I don't read that language, but in the subsequent "gallerie", there is what appears to be the same bodywork on another car. Any idea
who makes that model?
Cheers, Rorty.

Rorty,
Thanks for clarifying. I had the same thought about the backend, but I could not tell whether it was the angle of the photograph and the wide angle
lens.
My German is very limited also but as far as I understand all the cars on the site are different configurations of the same RCB 77 made by RCB. The
blue one in gallerie 3 is a variant with carbon fiber body.
Cheers
