Text from Road and Track: 

"Sharing a body shape and overall mission with the Ariel Atom—and its name with a later Smart—the Just 4/2 was a reminder of how simple our love for the automobile can be. BMW took a 1.1-liter, four-cylinder engine from its K1100 motorcycle and created a bespoke "exoskeleton" shape for it. Door panels could be detached and removed when not necessary. Had the Just 4/2 entered production, it probably would have needed a proper windshield, although airbags were integrated into the design. Best of luck remaining anonymous while driving it."

Weight: 1212 lbs

Power: 100hp

Acceleration (0-60mph): ~6.0 sec

I like this thing a lot. The trunk is removable and can be carried like a suitcase.

Theres no doubt the Smart ForTwo took a lot of inspiration from this car. Note the 3 lug wheels, and if you squint hard enough, some of the body lines/concepts.

If nothing else, enjoy the 90's-ness of the couple modeling the car.

If this was a modern day concept it would probably go into production to compete against the slingshot. #takeoverallthemarkets

I wonder how this would be classified given it has four wheels. If it's a car and has to pass car safety standards then so much for that. Those Slingshots are a classification / licensing clusterf---. For example, they are a motorcycle in Wisconsin and require an "M" class license to drive, but in Illinois they are an "Autocycle" (whatever the hell that is) and can be driven on a regular car license. Then other states have a regular car license, a motorcycle license but then a separate class for three wheelers.

Sorry to get OT. I think it's kinda cool. I wonder what they used for the transmission/transaxle, it appears to have a regular shifting pattern and not the sequential bike trans. Since then they also came out with the S1000RR, which has about 2X the power of this "Flying Brick" engine.

Looks like a seriously fun car.  Imagine what it would be like with some forced induction.

I love how the struts  mount towers are exposed.

I've never seen this before. I may be chastised for this but my first reaction was that it reminded me of a Plymouth Prowler lol 

I bet it would be fun to snap around some corners though=)
