4 wheel drive available?

@theavailablenamessuk Not for this version, but it's possible. Our goal is to make these affordable so offering without 4WD helps make these available sooner for those who don't think they will need it, which is a big part of the market.

just a thought. I see the covering over the engine but if its a rainy day and you have to open your hood for any reason will it be safe getting wet?

@blstrge1 This is a prototype but they are engineering for weather protection.

It looks very solid! Is this a converted 2nd generation RAV4 or it is built by ZAP from ground up?
