News Flash: Elio has just announced a special edition car to be sold exclusively in Italy. The "Italiana" will come with only two standard features, an accelerator and a horn....

I bet that last one is lousy in the snow, unless you have snowshoes.

Anyone have any info about this walking car? Where I found the pic didn't give any and searching the web didn't come up with anything either. I wondered if this could be a Photoshop pic, but have examined it closely and it appears genuine. Surely the creator of this thing did not consider it a practical design. I figure he was an imaginative inventor type who just wanted to see if he could make it work. The design of the legs and feet look rather ingenious,... kind of like something from STAR WARS.

I've looked, haven't found anything yet, closest I've come is a walking "thing" that shows up at burning man.
And that picture is long before Burning Man.
But I'll keep digging.

This was the most info I could find offhand: theoldmotor.com/?p=136752

Anyone who found the walking car interesting will surely like the following film. "Gizmo" is a collection of clips from years ago featuring all kinds of crazy inventions and people. I know, not directly related to Elio, but great fun never the less. Enjoy....
