WEIRD STUFF! SNAEFELL SIDECAR: Is The Snaefell A Motorcycle With A Sidecar Or A Car With A Motorcycle Attached To It?

What was designer Francois Knorreck thinking when he designed and built the Snaefell? Did he want a motorcycle that could carry more people? Or a car that had the feel of a motorcycle?

The Snaefell started life as a 1000cc Laverda motorcycle, but Knorreck grafted it to a combination of Volkswagen GTI, Audi 80 and Citroen Xantia car parts.

The Snaefell is named after a volcano in Iceland and has three exhausts, four wheels and carries four passengers (two on the motorcycle and two in the car). The complete vehicle is grafted together into a single piece of bodywork.
