Brütsch Mopetta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Opelit Mopetta)
The Brütsch Mopetta was an egg-shaped, single-seat, three-wheeled microcar designed by Egon Brütsch (who also designed the Spatz Kabinenroller) in 1957 as Brütsch Mopetta using a 50 cc ILO V 50 engine and an open roadster type glass fiber body. Only 14 were built.
A single wheel was in the front. The car was only 67 inches (170 cm) long. There were negotiations with Opel to distribute the car, but only sales brochures were produced.
A Brütsch mopetta replica is available built in the UK with a modern Honda automatic engine.
