True that. I wasn't thinking of that frame and engine with wheels, the P1. :D

Amended: Each prototype with body panels has been left as is. The Sour Apple Screamer, the Creamsicle Cruiser, and the Red Hot Rocket.

Point is, they won't bring the P4 up to P5 specs.
You left out the P3 Silver Rocket

So these should properly be labeled from left to right:
P1/P2; P3; P4; P5
ps I just watched an episode of a TV car show and they mentioned that having at least some of the body beyond the wheels creates a smoother ride so since there are counterbalancing forces when you hit the bumps. It looks like both the front wheels and the rear wheel have a little of the body beyond the wheels counterbalancing the bumps.

Still no place close enough to me. I didn't even hear about Elio until a few weeks after they showed the P4 in my area... :( Sure would be nice for them to hit central/northern Ohio some time this summer.
