Does this car have an "alternative" powerplant?

I found it in the first book I looked in, World Cars 1980.  It says Minicars Large Research Safety Vehicle, based on a Chevrolet Impala with air-cushion restraints giving protection to 40mph in frontal crashes.  The same picture is shown in color.

A nice hint was your update on the Minicars RSV in the Solved Puzzles category, as it showed the same logo on the front wing.  ;D

That logo is actually for the US Department of Transportation.

Wow ... that's cool, actually.

I'd prefer it be based off the Caprice Classic, though ... no FWD connection whatsoever.  LOL. ;)

Based on a 1977 Chevrolet Impala and featured in this article from June 1978. Built by Minicars, Inc. of Goleta, California.
