Any idea what car this is?

At first, i thought this picture was distorted but it's not.
my friend spotted this car in kitsilano and posted it on facebook.
no idea what car this is as i do not know alot of cars.
this car is obviously straight from the california. looks like a one or two seaters car. i just thought this was interesting and wanted to share with you guys.

*EDIT* i found it...such a fail for me : (

World's Slimmest Car


The Tango is an ultra-narrow electric sports car created by Rick Woodbury.
It was initially designed and built by Commuter Cars, an American company
based in Spokane, Washington. This vehicle is a two seater and is as narrow
as just about anything on the road.


The two seat capacity, odd looks and high price tag - $150,000, keeps the buyers
way from the car. Woodbury however confirms that production will restart and orders
for this funky vehicle can be placed.

$150,000 USD!?!?!

I assume there would be a profound effect on handling too due to its tall and skinny design. Lets have Clarkson test it.

imagine a semi-trailer swooping by at 120km/h from the oncoming traffic while sitting in one of these.

Clearly you've never driven on Clark or Knight St.

Those guys haul ass on Clark the second they leave the Port.

third of all, I don't think any cars can stand that kind of impact.

i never mentioned an impact...i was just saying how this 'car' would shake terribly when a large truck drives by in the opposite direction.

...Nevermind.

^ lol 150k for something that looks like it uses recycled isuzu taillights

But definitely a cool toy if you have money to blow, I can already imagine all the cars who will pull to your right at the stop light and try to pass you not knowing that your car does 0-60 in 4 secs
