The Messerschmidt KR200 is very similar in layout. I like the way the top / door opens.

The Smite is like a modern version of the Messerschmidt KR200. Tree Hugger.

Had a Messerschmidt on American Pickers recently, guy was offered over $30k did not take deal. He did not want to sell, so he threw out his crazy number $60k. Mike walked away from that deal. A Messerschmidt was on Ebay recently with a BIN of $40k.

All I can think of when I look at this is the only way you could look good driving one of these is if you were Pokemon.
For 'some people'..... the 'all important' factor is to LOOK GOOD, too bad.

Here is a contemporary German version, @ $150K & only avail. in Europe I don't
think Elio needs to worry...... http://revolution-green.com/300-mpg-vw-update/ :)
Well that answers lots of questions with the main one being how much would the Elio cost with an electric option, two doors, side by side seating, 4 wheels, rear wheel drive, turbo diesel, visible wheels, and every other bell and whistle people seem to want to add on. Approximately $150,000! And IMHO that thing is ugly. :) The only thing it seemed to be missing from the VAST wish lists and commentary -- review mirror - and with that width, I am pretty sure it would need one where the Elio doesn't seem to.
