Amazing approach and departure angles..... pity about getting high and dry on breakover.

Very odd..... but the type 62 Cadillac was the last great American design.  Or maybe the second evolution Corvette, but since then they haven't produced anything exciting. The US can't design cars for toffee now  :lol:

Relax guys it's only a concept very unlikely to hit the streets.
Check out www.howstuffworks.com and look at the Jeep Hurricane. This is also a concept but much more likely to make it to the production line.

got the info from the Jeep boys at work.

:lol: At least if it did come to production, the Yanks can practice driveing on the right side of the road. With it self adjusting steering column. And at least there trying to produce a 4x4 with a clean burning fuel cell engine. But with most of it been flyby-wire, a drop of water would soon stop it in its tracks. I wonder how its suspention works ? wishbones coil-overs etc, and with the good approach and departure angles it would make a good trial vehicle,,, if it had a proper engine. :lol:
