Hmm... is it maybe the Scorpion GT?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Electro Automotive built an electric car using a Bradley body and Beetle chassis.  Is this it?

Yes, it is! Well done. Two points for that, as it's been around for so long.

I believe I used that car in another puzzle of mine, the "Happy ever after".
