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!

Cute image of the car and the passenger, some of the cars coming out on the road now are so tiny they look like something out of a cartoon. I guess they are the future, now if every one on the roads would slow down I might feel safe enough to drive one that tiny.

Excellent rendering and dare I say sexy too. The vibrant red of the body is a terrific touch. I love the history of this car. It's a shame that this design did not take off in the 50's - alas 50 miles to the gallon in the 50's wasn't much of a selling point. Though, its influence is clearly seen in the smart cars of today. Indeed, I originally that this was a smart car rendering.

I think with a little technical updating, this would be a very fit car indeed to be brought back into production Sherrie! Steve ;)
