Oftentimes noted as the "Driver's RV",[who?] what made it stand out was a very low center of gravity and a very wide stance. Instead of lumbering down the highway, it had a manual transmission and when the turbo kicked in it zoomed down the highway. Owners often noted when they first got theirs up to 100 MPH, and yet it averaged about 30 MPG using a BMW M21 turbo-diesel engine. Due to emissions concerns this was one of the last to be imported into the US for years. Wind tunnel testing was used to create a compeletely smooth exterior encased in fiberglass top and bottom, which gave it the extra advantage it needed to get those numbers.
