I concur. I test drove the Smart car, which is actually bigger than this one. Regardless of the "safety measures" in place, nothing can reverse the laws of physics. While on the freeway with the Smart car, I kept pushing my feet toward the footwell, hoping they would grab some cement to effect a stop if necessary.

Half a million to cut your commute time in half, I think is the angle. People buying a car for cargo capacity obviously aren't looking at this. People looking to weave through a sea of building-sized trucks driven by people who ARE buying for cargo capacity, all stalled in traffic, is who it's aimed at. Personally I'd rather just have a motorcycle.
It’s hilarious watching this thing fly through these corners when visually, it looks like a little puff of wind wind throw it over. But consider just how low the center of gravity is, this thing rips
Rick! I would rock this thing. Sadly the price is out of range for my shallow pockets but if you ever find yourself longing to find a new home for one of these to be appreciated and used, I'll be here as long as my human body allows.
His daughter is a teacher. When i was in garry middle schoole she was my teacher. Mis. Woods if im correct. They took all 3 models they had and show them to us. It was great. That was almost 20 years ago
Some of the specs on this thing are pretty interesting. 0-60mph: 3.2 s Top speed: 150 mph Horsepower: 805 hp Range: 150 mi (lithium-ion version) However, for $420k, I think most folks could probably find a better bargain, such as a Tesla Roadster Founder's edition, a Cybertruck dual-motor, and a Ludicrous Model S ....all at once for less money.
Well... buy the Rolls first, get it out of your system, then when you want a new toy, cos let's face it the Rolls is also a toy when any other regular car would have sat in traffic just as well as the Rolls, then buy this, or if you want a pedal cycle equivalent, try a DryCycle. I'm biased on that last one :)
@@andrewmurphy2378 DryCycle fine, but not highway/freeway capable. Tango beats Google Maps commute predictions by greater than 40%. Search youtube for 2015-07-21 TracyLanesplitting.

Crow This car is actually less likely to rollover than a 90s Porsche 911, look up the tests they’ve made, they took corners at insane speeds and this thing didn’t even give a hint of rolling over
If I had the money, you're damn right I would buy a Tango over a Lambo. It gets through traffic >40% faster than any other car. Genius design. Driving their narrow cars, our grand kids will wonder why we were hauling all of those empty side car side seats when we were driving alone almost all of the time.
"To me this car is safer than any other car on the road as it can avoid accidents" There is far more to safety than how well you can maneuver around something you have plenty of time to avoid.
I own a Chevy Tahoe and Chevy spark and I must say I feel a whole lot safer in the Tahoe and it’s weird but it’s easier for me to drive bigger vehicles
why should we have two headlights then ? why two mirrors ? it's for the design + so if you were to park near a wall in the only position where the door is facing it then how do you get out ? think for a bit dude
400k to build the production facility/garage area or the car? I'm confused. It surely can't cost the same as a new Rolls Royce Phantom for a single one.
It's so expensive because almost everything it takes to produce a car like this is fully custom. Customed tooling, molds, manufacturing, assembly, etc. No ability to get economy of scale whatsoever.
literally a costume made car, try it yourself, if you're renovating a small house and the price reached over 500K would you sell it for less ? same thing here
I drive a 2000 suburban. 5.3L V8 11-13 MPG. Only me no passenger. An hour and a half, five days a week. And still cheaper then buying one of those things.
This is a beautiful car! Just kind of wish they would seek endorsements from other companies! If they could get a motor company to manufacture for them, it would be amazing to see these world-wide!
I don't don't even see $20k worth of material.... Lithium ion batteries do cost an arm and a leg but you only have about 10-12k worth of batteries. Where is the rest of the $420k?
Man hours to design, engineering, sourcing the materials, and most of all man-hours for building it. It's a prototype after. The same goes for supercars. If their production involved less human hands, they would cost less than 100k instead of 500k.
James Evin IKR? Can’t people just stop using it to curse something? It’s a ugly car yes. Manufactured by people who have no regards for beauty and aesthetics. The 🚙.
So maneuverable and quick, I'd love to have a Tango one day but for now I am happy with my Volt. The owner of Commuter Cars, Rick, is quick to respond to emails I wish the cost could come down via production ramp.
Well said bro, some People don't get it If you complain about traffic, just shut up and buy a motorcycle (same in my country, they all complain about traffic that are present everywhere, i just laugh at them and tell them to buy a motorcycle as i did)
2:30 "To me, this car is safer than any other car on the road because it can avoid accidents better than any other car." Highly questionable logic (since some accidents are, naturally, unavoidable). It also does nothing to address what appears to be a complete lack of side impact protection. We can see at 2:21 the chassis has no side impact protection, and when the door's opened at 3:24 there's nothing above the sill. In the case of a side impact collision the door would offer minimal protection, so even a low speed accident (as you would be most likely to have with a city car) would probably result in severe injuries or even death. What kind of crash testing has this vehicle undergone? How did it score? 2:37 "It turns instantly, unlike a motorcycle, which has to countersteer before it can turn to avoid a collision." Highly misleading. The term "countersteer" is used to describe the process by which a 2-wheeled vehicle (e.g. motorcycle or bicycle) turns, where the rider applies steering in the opposite direction which they'd like to go to initiate the turn. For example, to turn left, the rider pushes the left handlebar forward, slightly turning the front wheel to the right, which causes the vehicle to steer left. The countersteering process does actually start turning the vehicle instantly to the left, though; there's no "delay" as the creator suggests here.
I feel it is well suited to countries like India, where there is huge traffic congestion. In fact I was looking for a similar vehicle for daily use. I like the comfy single seats. In fact most tiny cars have tiny little dual seats instead of a comfortable single ones! Also a single driver seat in front helps driving make easy. I see nothing ridiculous in this tiny car!
His claims are absolutely ludicrous. Better handling than a motorcycle? The safest car!? Are you kidding me!? Turn too quick and you'll flip over. There is a reason no modern vehicle looks like this, not even on the cutting edge with electric vehicles.
All the silly questions aside , I've seen this design , extremely low center of gravity , electric...... But at 01:57 the builder says it has a DRY SUMP , 2 CYLINDER OPPOSED ENGINE . OK , GUYS , WHAT'S WITH THAT !?
wowee by your logic small motorcycles will be flying in the air if you think a bit of wing will drop that massive low gravity centered +1000 lb car, sheesh wait till you hear about scooters
That's the future. Just give the concept to one of the big guns in the automotive world, let it mass produce and drop drastically in price and voila - perfect ecological city car.
Don't be fooled by its tiny size. The car weighs more than most micro cars, and even more than some sedans(!!!). It has NASCAR grade rollcage too under that body. Sure such kind of rollcage still won't really secure you against a semi going over 60mph with load behind it, but atleast you'd probably have more chance to live in that 800hp tic tac than a run-of-the-mill hatchback.
I have ridden with Rick. We took one out for dinner one night in Palo Alto. The car is wickedly quick and contrary to the keyboard design engineers below, it is very well engineered. I remember when we were stopped at a red light. We had pulled up between two cars, each in their own lane. When the light turned green, we were doing 45mph by the time we crossed the crosswalk at the other side of the intersection It truly is amazing what people will post when they think no one knows who they are. Such lame comments especially from those that didn't pay attention to the video.
Not really. It's top power train is actually as powerful as it's comparable era Koenigsegg (sort of), and rollcage setup that'd make Volvo's safety development team jealous. It even has a longer gearing option to go to 170mph.
It doesn’t matter how strong the rollover cage is. Weight & size plays a HUGE role in the outcome of a crash. And this little guy is clearly at disadvantage. Decelerations would be brutal.
Lol crazy, I remember back in ‘05 when Rick unveiled his first tango model. his daughter was my 7th grade English teacher at Sacajawea middle school and he brought the car to school and my class got to see/sit in it. I never knew that they were around 420k though... I’d rather buy a Tesla and a house lol. 😂 with a price tag like that I don’t think he will be solving the worlds traffic problems any time soon.
Love the design and concept. If I were Him I would take it to the big car manufacturers who could refine it and make it lighter, More aerodynamic. Only gripe is for the city its fine but the free way seems tricky with big trucks hurtling past...Remember the Sinclair C5..

Probably due to it's top heavy design.
Watch the video. It's electric and lithium ion batteries are heavy and keep the center of gravity low on it.

Not really. It's top power train is actually as powerful as it's comparable era Koenigsegg (sort of), and rollcage setup that'd make Volvo's safety development team jealous. It even has a longer gearing option to go to 170mph.
what a beautiful strange looking car. I love it.
He thinks he’s saving the planet
He's saving human lives, as very few people will purchase these.
This little ATV on crack goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Literal deathtrap, i love it
Lol ya you might get to point A to point B faster but a car crash your done 😂
im the 1000th like on this video
Rodeo tail lights. You've earned my respect.
Doug Demuro needs to review this
It doesn’t matter how strong the rollover cage is. Weight & size plays a HUGE role in the outcome of a crash. And this little guy is clearly at disadvantage. Decelerations would be brutal.
Lol the car looks like:
Set image size 1920x1080 to 800x1080
Yes and I’m sure this is just as safe as a regular car and it is very stable
Lol crazy, I remember back in ‘05 when Rick unveiled his first tango model. his daughter was my 7th grade English teacher at Sacajawea middle school and he brought the car to school and my class got to see/sit in it. I never knew that they were around 420k though... I’d rather buy a Tesla and a house lol. 😂 with a price tag like that I don’t think he will be solving the worlds traffic problems any time soon.
Prototypes are expensive.
Half a million to ride in an upgraded version of those red and yellow toy cars
Saving the planet, one multi millionaire at a time
This car looks like a real life Choro-Q car!
Love the design and concept. If I were Him I would take it to the big car manufacturers who could refine it and make it lighter, More aerodynamic. Only gripe is for the city its fine but the free way seems tricky with big trucks hurtling past...Remember the Sinclair C5..
STFU
Brilliant!!!..We need more of these..not great big inefficient suv
