What was the name of this car, who built it and when? A point awaits you...

Experts?

Three weeks and not single guess. I hope our professionals will be a bit more active on this!

I just dropped a clue on this in another puzzle...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:38:30 AM »

Is it Lepoix?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #5 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:51:27 AM »

Yes, Lepoix was the clue...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #6 on:** December 29, 2009, 10:03:06 AM »

...so this is made by his FTI design studio?

I found this car in a site, it's a modular vehicle: closed, like in your picture or in a pick-up version. I still can't find other details...is it electric?
(just to state the obvious...not the Urbanix?)

The actual prototype wasn't electric, but the planned production version was meant to be electric.

All the details I found online on this car refer to an electric version.

I found that the Urbanix was tested with a VW ebgine and then was planned to be also electric-powered. The picture I have is quite different (single front wheel) but the same source shows a silhouette of a different version, more alike this.

And this is it!

I just found out that the Urbanix prototype still exists and was shown at an exhibition a couple years ago at the Museum für Konkrete Kunst in Ingolstadt.
