This fits that bill and has been around for some time now. I have been in an older one in Germany. Crazy guy with way too much money. Here it is: http://car-com.de/hp/index.php?gallery-89

Looks like the off-roader version of ''Viper'' the one that was built on a Dakota Chassis and drive terrain.

I like the mob rule idea for designing the car. 10 years ago they could have gotten investors, made a production ready concept, collected tons of orders, and sold the whole company for a buttload. I have a 6-pack of PBR that says it never makes it past the web.

Looks like you're out a 6-pack......

I'll take one, please!

...and Ariel Ferreira, while I'm at it.

I'm glad to see they have over 50 reservations.

They should take a page from SVT's book and enter one in Baja for the debut.

The next reservation available is #70, and if you want you can actually go to the "Micro" Factory as they call it and help with the assembly of your Rally fighter which is damned awesome!

In one of the earlier video's they mention hoping to have 10 Rally Fighters entered in next years Baja....

They have a pretty cool series of Video's showing and explaining Local Motors and the story of the Rally Fighter. These are the video's that lead up to the first one posted of the car out testing in the dirt.

For some reason their Youtube page doesn't list them all so here are the links:

I totally dig the Rally Fighter, and Local Motors in general. I hope at some point they do a small hot hatch design for production.

Couldn't agree more. So far I am loving everything about this company.
