Dartz MOJO Announced

Perhaps sensitive to recent criticism that slaughtering whales isn't the most environmentally sustainable of pastimes, Latvian armoured car maker Dartz has leapt onto the great green band-wagon.Yep, next year at the Top Marques show in Monaco, Dartz will be launching this - a two-seater sports car with an electric power option and what looks like a novel retractable roof/occupant decapitation device. (Although we're pretty sure they'll have got the decapitation thing covered if/when it reaches production, Ed.) We're not going to comment on the styling, because there isn't any. Or at least if there is, it's been hidden underneath the bodywork where we can't see it. As official details are sketchy, there's not much to go on apart from what we can see in these picturings, which is some sort of carbon or grp body with a tubular chassis (or rear sub-frame), a V4 motorbike engine and a chain-driven rear axle, But there'll be two versions, apparently. The petrol powered machine pictured which is called the MOJO, and an electric version which is said to feature solar power and will be called the JO-MOJO. Anyway, that's what we heard.
