There was an older micro car that was called the Messerschmitt KR 175 / 200. It was really cool. It was made by the company that made fighter planes but couldn't after the war. They made these cool and cute little three wheel cars.
Messerschmitt KR200 - Wikipedia.
from the Wikipedia on the Messerschmitt KR200.
There seems to be a new company that is making them again. It is the same vehicle with slight variations. The company is Messerschmitt Werke. I think it is really cool. I believe it the older vehicle with modern technology inside. They have both a gas version and an electric version; KR202 Sport - Piaggio, KR 202 E Sport (5 KW), KR 300 Record Breaker (coming soon per their website) and 12 KW KR 202 E Sport .
As one can see, they kept the older style of the Messerschmitt KR200 while updating the inside.
There are some articles on it.
Since they are site that talks about electric vehicles, they concentrate on the electric version. I think a 50 mile range isn't bad since one probably drive it locally and not going on long trips with it (unless it is on a trailer behind a car or camper).
I like how the include both the gas version and the electric version. While it is not a long article, it is fascinating and informative.
They talk about the electric version. I am more inclined toward the gas version. It - IMO - is more like the original. I think the electric version is good too.
They give a lot of details on the vehicles. I like how they mention both the gas and the electric versions. They have both videos and photos of the little car.
I like how detailed they went into describing the little car. I think it is a must read for those interested in the retro cool little car.
There are more articles on it. One just does a search using 'new Messerschmitt car'.

They have a little shop for things with their name on it. Fan Shop. I am checking it out.
