After micros such as the Smart and the Fiat 500, BMW is considering bringing back the Isetta.
The original Isetta was powered by a rear-mounted motorcycle engine that delivered about 12 horsepower. On the original model the only door was its swing-away nose panel.

The modern Isetta, unlike the original, will have four wheels and two doors on the sides. Also the new Isetta will retain the egg-shaped silhouette of the original. At the moment, redesign is in the earliest stages, BMW may not make a decision on it until 2010. The new Isetta would be powered by a clean engine that would be the most ecological BMW.

The old BMW Isetta

One of the most successful microcars ever produced, wich was also known as a bubble car because of the bubble-like windows and an egg shape.

These are some examples of some famous cars wich have been redesigned.
