He wanted the people to design and vote on the car they wanted. That is how the Rally Fighter came to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Of course, drawing a car is a lot easier than building one. This is the same reason concept cars rarely make it into production unscathed. The Rally Fighter evolved substantially from Sangho Kim&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.local-motors.com\/buildProcessDet.php?pageNum=1&#38;c=3658\">first rendering<\/a>, though the\u00a0resemblance\u00a0to the famous World War II P-51fighter plane (where the Ford Mustang also got its name, before going to the equine imagery) remained intact. What came next was actually building a car, based on Sangho&#8217;s design, without the benefit of a factory or an army of robots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This meant it was time to make some hard decisions. But Jay would get help from his community of designers for that too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gas2.org\/2010\/01\/06\/interview-with-jay-rogers-part-ii-the-rally-fighter\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more of this story &#187;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=yqDC4Mu_fRY:gdciZEM2ck4:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/gas2\/org\/~4\/yqDC4Mu_fRY\" height=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wJOJGcJsLWX7otzVvPUbQmWbLtI\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wJOJGcJsLWX7otzVvPUbQmWbLtI\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wJOJGcJsLWX7otzVvPUbQmWbLtI\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wJOJGcJsLWX7otzVvPUbQmWbLtI\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/RenewableEnergyNewsSyndicator\/~4\/EWcAkNLm4ig\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Part Two of a three part interview with Jay Rogers, CEO of Local Motors.
