This 1:7.4 scale Subaru Impreza 22B is equipped with a high-performance remote control system, making it not only a collectible but also a fully functional R...
Really nicely designed print, check the build guide for some really nice engineering details (very short video)
I remember when that car first showed up. There’s a few problems with it.
First, it’s not something you can print at home- it was printed on a commercial FDM machine large enough to print its entire chassis, and the nozzle is freaking huge.
The next biggest issue with it is that it’s a glorified golf cart. It has no safety rating and likely wouldn’t be allowed to get registered in many places without it.
It’s also quite low to the ground and dangerous to try and drive on roads because it’s hard to see.
Is it cool? Absolutely. But it’s not a car in the same sense many would see a car.

OTOH, Divergent3D / Czinger Motors has 3D printable (with caveats) hypercars that are more … reasonable?
They also had the Rally Fighter that is street legal in all fifty states.
