Does this car have an "alternative" powerplant?

Volvo Turbo-engined!

I found it in the first book I looked in, World Cars 1980.  It says Minicars Large Research Safety Vehicle, based on a Chevrolet Impala with air-cushion restraints giving protection to 40mph in frontal crashes.  The same picture is shown in color.

A perfect answer. This is your point!

A nice hint was your update on the Minicars RSV in the Solved Puzzles category, as it showed the same logo on the front wing.

Right you are, my eagle-eyed friend!

That logo is actually for the US Department of Transportation.

You´ll never learn enough - thank you!

Wow ... that's cool, actually.

I'd prefer it be based off the Caprice Classic, though ... no FWD connection whatsoever.  LOL.
