Tango 600 (kit)

Expected retail price $85,000. This is the car that has been designed and built to showcase the potential of Commuter Cars' products. It is being sold as a mostly-assembled kit (less than a day to complete) in order to avoid the time and cost of a fully certified vehicle. The Tango 600 has been built around a racecar roll cage that is designed to protect occupants in 200 mph crashes. It has four times more protective steel in the doors than a typical SUV, for example. It also has 4-point jet pilot harnesses giving ease of mobility as well as outstanding security.

We've engineered the Tango 600 as a cost-is-no-object project. We believe it will rival the performance and handling of any production car. Our current prototype comes pretty close. With a carbon fiber body and other modifications by world-famous automotive engineers, the kit Tango 600 will perform even better.
