That's it. A point for you!

(Bt the way, the Sarmis EM 4K was a different car by Capră - electric-powered with no steering wheel or pedals.)

If examine the front of the car in the last photo, you'll see it carries Sarmis and EM-4K badges as well as the Soleta numberplate. By all accounts Capră was very fond of dismantling and reworking his vehicles and this car or cars appear to have undergone a number of permutations. It would be nice to see a more in-depth appraisal of the man and his work.

Are these cars real stuff ( like made as concept car or prototype) , or it's only made for the screen ?
