The Goggomobil Dart was developed in Sydney by the company Buckle Motors Pty Ltd and has since become a company mascot. Despite being just 4ft wide and having a top speed of 63mph, it is supposedly worth around $50,000 (USD).

The car features an Australian-designed fiberglass two-seater open sports car body without doors, the whole package weighing in at only 345 kg (761 lb).
