BRUSA Spyder/550 Spyder – Strong Family Resemblance
The folks at AutoblogGreen have the scoop on the this little electric Spyder built by BRUSA. I agree with them it has a strong family resemblance to the old Porsche 550 Spyder. Beck Spyders make great electric conversions. They sell these replica cars with or without motors and the layout is perfect for placing batteries front and rear. The original 550 Spyders are extremely rare, collectible, and very expensive so building one from a replica like a Beck makes a lot of sense.

Of course a green sports car is totally impractical but like most sports and luxury cars they pave the way for more utilitarian cars because they can help car companies grow and build a strong reputation. So these cars have their place too, just not in everyones garage.
