Would you assemble your car the way you assemble Ikea furniture?

PARIS: If you like Citroën's Ami, you're going to love Höga. Höga is the work of a young American design student, Ryan Schlotthauer, who imagined what a basic electric car could look like -- no frills and to be assembled by the customer, like a simple piece of furniture.

Ultra-compact with its 2.23-meter length (compared to the 2.41 m of the Ami), the complete assembly of the Höga requires a little more than 370 parts in total. All the components of the concept are recyclable, and together they would cost the buyer US$6,500 (RM27,000).

This project will probably never see the light of day, but it shows that a small modular electric car, to be built by oneself, is not necessarily just science fiction.
