Description
Mayuka has discovered her little car gets over 50 miles to the gallon. It reminds me of my old Geo Metro that was also red. This BMW model is free at ShareCG - can't remember who did it. I changed the materials in Poser. These little cars were amazing and we could use them now with gas so expensive! This car got over 50 mpg.
According to Wikopedia: Iso Isetta (Italy)Isetta
Manufacturer Iso Autoveicoli
Production Iso Isetta (1953-1956)
The Isetta caused a sensation when it was introduced to the motoring press in Turin in November 1953, it was unlike anything seen before. Small (only 2.29 m (7.5 ft) long by 1.37 m (4.5 ft) wide) and egg-shaped, with bubble-type windows, the entire front end of the car hinged outwards to allow entry. In the event of a crash, the driver and passenger were to exit through the canvas sunroof. The steering wheel and instrument panel swung out with the single door, as this made access to the single bench seat simpler. The seat provided reasonable comfort for two occupants, and perhaps a small child. Behind the seat was a large parcel shelf with a spare wheel located below. A heater was optional, and ventilation was provided by opening the fabric sunroof.
Power came from a 236 cm3 (14.4 cu in), 7.1 kW (9.5 hp) two-cylinder two-stroke motorcycle engine.In 1954, Iso entered several Isettas in the legendary Mille Miglia where they took the top three spots in the economy classification. Over a distance of 1,600 km (1,000 mi) the drivers achieved an average speed of over 70 km/h (43 mph). In view of its maximum speed, which was just 15 km/h (9 mph) higher, this was an almost incredible figure. However, despite its initial success, the Isetta was beginning to slip in popularity at home. This was mainly due to renewed competition from Fiat with its 500C model.
After constructing some 1,000 units, production of the Italian built cars ceased in 1955, although Iso continued to build the Isetta in Spain until 1958. It is thought that some 4,000 Autocarros were built.
Thank you for the faves and comments! I appreciate them!

Wow that's a tiny car! My one ton Chevy Silverado diesel could run right over it and I would think I hit a small speed bump, lol. I like the color of the car. Nice pose and lighting too.

Excellent work!

Very cool. Excellent render and I love all the info. I guess they've tried to revive the style with the current Smart Car. I'm all for these little cars when there are less trucks on the road. Nice work.
