There are no doors: it has to be accessed from the sideboard. The style is a mix of modern forms, simple resumptions of the cars on the market and of technical and style elements of the past. An example: the two small 1930s Formula 1 style windscreens which aside from the aesthetic value, proved effective against turbulence and air flows, to benefit the driving comfort of "pilot and co-pilot". The spaces not occupied by passengers can be closed using coverings lodged in the boot. In the Hammer model the model transforms into an all-terrain, open-air vehicle. The design was developed on the chassis and platform of the Fiat Bravo: it is deliberately a simple and inexpensive car to sell to a young audience.
