Autophobic?!

Local Motors is a new car company, headquartered in the United States, and you are now looking at its very first completed effort. It was revealed at the SEMA show for 2009.

A group of car lovers and enthusiasts are responsible for developing and designing this innovative, incredibly unique project, coined the Local Motors Rally Fighter. It is an off road desert racer, initially designed by a student attending the Art Center, located in Pasadena, CA. You definitely have to give Sangho Kim some props and points for extreme originality.

The design was actually chosen after a competition, after which an open development process occurred, leading quite a few members of Local Motors to participate.

As yet, the Rally Fighter lacks any sort of interior, but that’s all right, because its innovative exterior — carbon fibers, thermoplastic, so lightweight it weighs only thirty one hundred pounds — more than makes up for it.
