I knew all of that. Apparently we have had a mis-communication. I was talking about the reason R32/R34's aren't allowed anymore but the R33 still is. And you thought I was talking about how Motorex went under.

The R32 and R34 aren't not allowed. It's just that no one has paid to get them crash tested properly, and I'm sure the EPA is skeptical to allow a shop another chance to pull that bullshit. The EPA got scammed once, and it took some heavy convincing to let the Skylines get tested for the US that time, why would they do it again?

I'll bet if you paid the NHTSA to crash test it the EPA would be onboard.

They probably would if a company that was reputable and well known tried doing it. But I am willing to bet if Joe Schmo tried starting a importing company and tried to get the crash tests done, they would probably just deny them for the fear of a similar result happening. Originally Posted by Sven7

It was on Jalopnik but they didn't post actual photographs. COE designs are illegal in some places (maybe not US) so I'm 99% sure that will not be built. Regardless, a one-off Jeep FC is a pretty badass idea, and it looks well executed.

Well, these were concepts built by Jeep, so yeah not going to be built. But many of the parts are available from Mopar Performance.
