One of the blogs I like is Retro to Go, a blog that covers all things retro that are being released right now. They’ve got an interesting little post up today about a retro-style car that’s being recreated for the modern era. It’s the old-fashioned Bubble Car and it’s been made in a new eco-friendly design for modern drivers to adore.

The cute little car, marketed under the clunky name Vehiconmics Smite, has a great strange design. The design is based on the classic Mid-twentieth century vehicle called Messerschmitt KR200. It’s kind of like a cross between a modern VW bug and an old school 1950′s Chevy with some futuristic touches added here and there.

In terms of being a green car, there are a few different things going on. For one thing, it’s a small light car so it doesn’t use up a lot of resources in terms of construction. As far as the gas issue, there are a couple different versions of the vehicle being made – one that uses very minimal amounts of gas and one that uses electric energy.

In a bit of fun marketing, the Smite website describes the car as:

Smite is…
eco-friendly, efficient, light, strong, bright, smooth, economical, non-offensive, easy, free, user friendly, street smart, rational and very caring

Right now this car is just a concept car being talked about in Sweden. Will it ever come to the market either in Europe or over in the US?
