Rinspeed E-Go Rocket
Weird Car of the Day #432: 1998 Rinspeed E-Go Rocket – Silver surfer
This is another concept that made an impression on me, more for its intelligent use of headlights from the jellybean-gen Ford Taurus. Bravo, Rinspeed.
Made in Florida, mid-engined, and built on a tubular steel chassis, the E-Go Rocket was designed for a single person and — maybe — a road trip. The successor to the previously-covered Rinspeed Mono Ego, I'm not quite sure if any of these more modern neo-classic designs are all that compelling.

E-Go Rocket really was built in the U.S.A. by TLC Carrossiers, then shipped to be a Swiss star.
Yes, it has a 410 horsepower supercharged V8 engine, and yes, it's mounted right behind the single denim-covered seat. It’s Friday, people: act like it.
