Serious Wheels article on Obvio 012.
Here is the Obvio logo. I think it looks odd but that is just my opinion.
It is like the Smart Fortwo but longer and lower. I think it has a sleek aerodynamic design. I think it could appeal to those who want to have fun without paying a lot (assuming the price is not huge).
It seems the Smart's rear engine and rear wheel drive is similar to what the 012 is supposed to have. It shows how compact it is. It might be a little bigger than the 828 which is really small.
The 012 has a more aerodynamic shape than the Fortwo. It seems the radiator is in front similar to the Smart Fortwo. It is one of the reasons I think the Fortwo would make a great donor car or basis for it to be built on.
I like the wide sports car like stance of the 012. With the wider stance it could perform better.
It just shows the concept drawings but still interesting.
It is a shame Obvio has not (from what I could find of it but I am doing more research) is just into making the electric version of the 828.
Here the Obvio 828 (bottom) is compared to the Fiat 500 (top) for size comparison. At one time the 828 was supposed to have a gas engine with a CVT. It seems they are only going to make the 828 with electric propulsion. I think they should make it it with a choice of gas or electric and also make the 012 which is even nicer looking.
One can see the 828 on the right in comparison to the Smart's on the left. Although the Smart has an automated manual transmission, I think it could work with the Obvio 828. I still think a CVT is cool even though there are many that dislike the CVT for cars. I think the CVT has the economy of a manual with the ease of an automatic. I read that there are improvements with the CVT.
