This is an interesting conversion using an old 1970's BMW R-model boxer chassis, removing the engine and converting it to electric power. It looks like a very clean and thoughtful manufacturing job, but oh those cylinders! Talk about pedestrian slicers! Then there is the projected production price of around 30K Euros. But you would certainly own something unique if you bought one:

I get where they were going, trying to emulate the Boxer engine, but yikes. I wonder how much further it extends outward beyond the Boxer's dimensions.
