130rapid ◊ 2025-02-23 17:42	Yup, and it's not microcar or supermini. Has 3500 mm of length.
s13a ◊ 2025-02-23 17:53	I was wondering about that, but it seems a few examples (uncertain whether it's Series I or Series II models) have been produced and some were legally registered on the roads. Quote A total of 14, but only 4 registered copies of the Hope Whisper were produced and the car never entered series production. https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbil Also: Quote Many mistakenly believe that the gang trip was where the story ended, but in fact it was just the beginning of a further development of the car, which ended with a production-ready model that was approved to hit the streets. https://eldrevet.dk/?page_id=135 The car shown is possibly the very same example as in this movie. I don't know about Danish laws, but if it's legally approved for driving on the public roads, can it still be considered a proto/concept car? -- Last edit: 2025-02-23 17:58:08
130rapid ◊ 2025-02-23 18:03	OK, so 'hatchback'. It seems Whisper II got homologation.
Baube ◊ 2025-02-23 18:14	i wonder if they Whispered higher Hopes when they got the homologation..
