THIS is the futuristic “Lo Res” car that looks “like an alien spaceship” with no doors and a 31mph top speed.
Alex Hirschi, who runs SupercarBlondie, uploaded a test drive of the bizarre motor to her TikTok channel.

The car was created by the US-based United Nude footwear company as a promotional vehicle.
It was designed by company founder Rem D. Koolhaas, who sketched it based on a low-resolution picture of a Lamborghini Countach, the latest version of which starts at over £1.5 million.
The Lo-Res is made entirely of polycarbonate panels mounted on a steel frame.
It is fully electric and has no doors, with the entire body of the car lifting off the frame like a crocodile’s jaw to allow the driver in and out.
Inside, there is just one seat in front of the hexagonal steering wheel, with a side console housing a battery gauge and a row of aeroplane-style toggle switches that control everything from the lights to the indicators.
The body panels, which appear completely tinted from the outside, actually give the driver a complete 360-degree view from within.
Social media commenters were befuddled by the car.
One wrote: “It’s a coffin with wheels.”
Another added: “Where is the world heading to?”
But as unusual as it is, it still managed to fetch a pretty penny at auction.
Only four models were ever made and number three attracted a winning bid of just over £87,000 when it was sold in October 2021.
It comes after Tesla announced that its revamped Model 3 was just day from hitting the UK.
Meanwhile, the “world’s rarest” Aston Martin was found abandoned by the side of a road – even the number plate is “worth a fortune”.
