This car is based on an idea to build a Festiva that has a stance that would rival the lowest Honda. This Festiva is purely an idea at this stage, not an actual car. It is however, entirely possible with serious modification.
Serious means:
- Front Fender cut for tire-wheel clearance and a flare added to prevent top of tire sticking out (due to curve)
- Rear Quarter panel cut for tire-wheel clearance and a flare added to keep styling uniform
- Front and rear strut suspension eliminated in favor of double a-arm design for better packaging (not enough vertical room for conventional strut in the front for sure).
- Front and rear subframes, or possible complete chassis
- Front wheel drive configuration would require hood blister for engine clearance
- Concerns include possibility of removal of stock floorpan, in whole or partial, due to ground clearance or driver ergonomics. Should the driver-passenger seats have to be moved "up" relative to the body, the footwells would be moved foreward which likely would require a rear engine placement.
