COMPACT CAR WITH TWO SEATS

摘要

The present application is directed to a compact two-seater vehicle that requires minimal surface area and provides maximum safety to the passengers without the need for more structure and weight increasing materials.;This is accomplished by combining the following features:;a) The passenger seat is arranged with the driver's seat retracted longitudinally to the rear, about half the depth of the seat cushion.;b) The instrument cluster is arranged in front of the seat, in the passenger area, the distance between the instrument panel and the front edge of the seat extends back towards the seat to approximately the same distance as the distance between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.;c) In the rear axle region, the outer frame side structures extend in the form of cross sections, at least up to the level of the top edge of the tire, ie at least the passenger seat is protected against side impact forces.;d) The car body virtually does not protrude beyond the rear wheel, with the result that when the rear impact occurs, the rear axle is used to absorb the impact force before a more pronounced intrusion occurs at the rear.
