Hey everyone, its the village idiot again:).
I know this video is a couple of years old, but I don't know if everybody has seen it so here it is.
This car actually was still drivable. It had airplane glass widows, a hatch in the roof, concrete filled tires for ballast, and a fiberglass inner skin to seal it.

Musk bought the real bond sub. Top Gear produced this to see if they could actually make a road going Lotus Sub and they did (with a lot of compromises).

The Top Gear one is an Excel.
