There could be some serious hidden talent in South Africa or they could have contracted it out. But somehow they had the balls to give ok to the design. Methinks it would have been much better at power consumption as a people mover in standard 2 seat wide format as you would have a smaller frontal cross section; less drag as compared to wider frontal area. But in terms of weight distribution, the 3 seat wide would be better for cornering, and more area for mounting batteries. It does look nice.
