[#10190924]

Looks like a lowered Mk 2 Ford Escort to me and I like it.

Interesting platform but it's like they put an iPhone 11 in a 1980s brick phone.  Looking at the front wheel clearance I expect it's got a 3 mile turning circle too.  It's a "Nyet" from me.

Anyway it'll never do the regular 200+ mile journeys we all demand 😉

It's almost as though they wanted to clone a Trabant but chickened out.

I'd have thought something less brick shaped would have helped with range...

Saw this on Flipboard the other day, was going to post up but didn’t get around to it. I rather like the concept, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Still, nice to see someone new take a shot at EV’s...

Nice design exercise. But I expect if they went to production with those skinny door/window pillars and that pedestrian-mashing front end someone would pop an NCAP in their ass.

Like the retro look, and slammed for extra points!

I'd drive one 😀

They've been gunning for a change of direction for a while. Having rifled through the suggestion box they thought this would be da bomb.

That car looks a barrel of laughs now I've had sight of it.

Moskvitch Kombi innit?

I like it. Best retro I've seen yet.

Can't see the back, is it a shooting break?

If it's anything like their lifeforce disrupter it will be everywhere within 5 years...

Nice design exercise.

Is it? Is it really??

That little “mouth” under the grill looks like a Japanese Sex Doll from the Manga 70’s era.

The rest looks like a Trabant Estate, even the badly fitting rear door framed windows and the front wheels look like it has a turning circle of a small African country.

The point has long since been missed on this thing.

Well from what I heard on a forum not far from hear is that Tesla are going to be the downfall of the German car industry. I guess Kalashnikov are planning on cashing in on that.

I presume that it's an automatic?

Should that have been 'ammunition for loads of funny puns here'.

That's an assault on my senses.I can't imagine it's Pact with features.

I can think of 47 reasons why i don't like it.

Anyone wanting one of those would look like a right guerrilla.
