Who knew I'd ever regret not paying enough attention in French class!

The text would be the usual press release tripe but the photos are very interesting.  For example, in the first article the rear doesn't have a grill and the exhaust pokes out through a hole in the fibreglass.

that's a great find! 
I'm not sure how practical it would have been having the exhaust exiting directly through the fibreglass!
(looks neat though!)
