Called a type 56 Bugatti, if the translator program on Google hasn't mangled it, and it was an electric buggy.

Senate unanimously rules in favor of noisy hybrids, electric cars

Regardless of whether or not there’s an actual need for pedestrian warning systems for hybrid and electric vehicles, the U.S. Senate has voted unanimously to approve a measure that would make the noise-adding setup standard on all vehicles that can operate – even if just momentarily – without the burble of an engine.

The measure, called the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010 and backed by Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, aims to establish standards for alerting pedestrians of the possible danger of an approaching vehicle that moves in near silence. With the Senate voting in favor of the bill, it will now head off to the House of Representatives, where it’s expected to pass with ease.

The Lohner-Porsche was first unveiled at the Paris World Trade Fair in 1900 and its inclusion in the Nov 2007 L.A. Auto Show was the first ever public display outside Europe.

Developed by Ferdinand Porsche for Austrian royal carriage manufacturer, Jacob Lohner & Co, with its futuristic , was the world's first advanced electric car and led to the production of the first gas-electric hybrid car. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3456/Lohner-Porsche-Mixte-Voiturette.html

It was this vehicle, Ferdinand Porsche’s first major project completed at the time without layshafts and without a transmission, that gave the 24-year-old automobile genius his breakthrough as a pioneer in the history of the automobile.

On loan from the Technical Museum in Vienna, Austria, the Lohner-Porsche features a chassis and body made of wood and electric wheel hub motors ( one internal-pole motor on each of the front-wheel hubs). The vehicle has a top speed of around 28 – 36 mph with the motors achieving an output of 2.5/3.5 hp with short bursts of 7 hp. Power is drawn from a forty-four cell 80-volt lead battery which enables approximately three hours use. Overall weight 2,160 lb.
