The Real P5 ?

[JEBar]

I could not work with those people, they're slobs. Toolboxes must be empty because they have them spread out everywhere; how can they find anything? I understand keeping out the tools you're working with but that is just crazy.
1/2 empty 2 liter bottles of Coke that are probably warm and flat <yuk>
The P5 looks good, and a lot further along than it has been in previous pictures.

NOTE TO SELF : Don't ever let Coss see my work area out in the garage ...

For a development shop, that place looks immaculate. At least compared to the others I've seen.

See the shifter?

Steel fuel tank...I hope the production tank will be plastic, any news on the street one way or the other? The tank will need an expansion tank, sealed venting system, an overflow and charcoal filter in the engine bay. I wonder how the rear seat area allows access to service the fuel tank?

Look at the frame GUSSETS! More than I could have imagined...very impressive.

No side beam at the right side cabin wall yet...at least not yet in these photos.

Just a few weeks until its debut.

The pics on the blog are most likely a step behind so they have wiggle room if a snag does pop up

The EXIF data says 10/2 for "creation date," BUT if that's a derived version of the original, the EXIF data may be off. shouldn't be, but it happens.

Its been a year since I put down a $100 for my Elio, and they sure have made a helluva lot of progress since then.
Keep a crankin Paul!

Just some basic identification. With prototypes like this everything is very custom looking in which they will document for standard production molds. ALTHOUGH the production model will be identical, it will certainly look different on the inside as far as mounts, welds, and bends go... etc. Think of it looking "more refined". I doubt that perforated metal is going to make it to production.

Thanks, this is really helpful for us non-motorhead folks

After seeing all the new photos I am even more excited and confident that Elio is on track for 2016 production
