Shark Infested

The new new Top Gear Magazine (which I'm still not overly sure about) has a section called "Vapourware Files" which pays tribute to the many new cars announced by new car companies that never actually reach fruition.

I wonder if this is going to be featured in a future edition.

It's by Mika.

No, not the bloke who sang about Grace Kelly and the Bells Ending, pictured here with a Mini he's vandalised.

The "car" in the top picture is by Warwickshire based car company Mika - this Autocar story tells you more.

But in that particular hue, it looks like a shark.

Not a BYD Shark - that looks like a Ford F150.

And from the rear view, it looks worse.

The article makes a big play of the enveloping frame formed from "composite pultrusions" which "form an extremely rigid survival cell for occupants in the Mika"

I'm not sure if it is these that make the car look like an Alfa Romeo SZ that has been rear-ended.

Maybe that's the safety angle they will be going for - the probability of a car being in TWO serious accidents is extremely low.
