That's a really strange car!

I think it looks somewhat like a modified VW New Beetle....but that is just a wild guess...

I agree with DIEHARD, the front looks as round like the new Beetle

This is not a VW, its way too small the engine seems to be from a motorcycle.
As for what it is I have no clue.

This car has been bugging me since April!

someone at a forum i post on on set this car for me to find out
since I am the unofficial champion of a 'Guess the car" topic.

Anyway here is what they set not exactly same as the one in the film
but must be same company.

Hopefully this might be able to help anyone else trying to work it ou

Un mix entre une carrosserie qui rappelle la New Beetle et un moteur de chez Harley-Davidson...

I've been Informed by reliable source that this car is not even in the movie just the trailer.

(and it looks more like a trike)

look at the picture above an compare the scale with a VW, that would be some substantial modifaction.

Alright, this had been bugging me for a while... so i finally found out, its a Corbin Motors Merlin Roadster, although the front end is slightly different... its the same car basically. [Image: merlin_corbin_motors_roadster_05.pg.jpg]

*edit* the Corbin Motors Merlin(hardtop version basically) has the same front end as the one in the movie.

the yellow car didn't appear in the movie, must have been from a deleted scene
