Local Motors has now announced that the Rally Fighter Concept, designed by Sangho Kim, will be the first concept car the company will take from sketch to reality. Multiple factors influenced the decision to build Sangho’s design, but the key reason was the popularity of the design amongst the entire group at Local Motors.
Development of the concept is expected to start later this year and there are already plans for limited run of up to 2,000 production models. According to Local Motors, the prototype will be transferred to a network of suppliers who will deliver the necessary components direct to the company’s headquarters in Massachusetts.
Local Motors hopes to have the first cars ready for sale as early as next year with a price tag of around $50,000. Key features of the design that are expected to make it to the production stage include the oversized wheels and exhaust, plus the exposed frame.

There was this Ford concept vehicle once, it looked like a sports off road vehicle, big tires, big motor, just so totally cool looking. But I forgot the name.
Point is, it looked a little like this.
Man, if they had built it, I was ready to buy it...
