this has to be a one-off car?
Yes, it is.
The separation line is well hidden, but the front is designed to part company with the back if you accelerate hard with the wheels in this position. This way you can make use of two small parking spaces instead of searching for one normal-sized one. What will they think of next?
:lmao:
was it built in 2005?
No
