Crash testing is always required for the sale of complete cars. Also, it's 2 cars ABSOLUTE minimum. It's more like 5 even if you're cutting corners. Plus testing a safety systems, ie airbags, takes numerous sled runs (ie, 25 or more) to ensure functionality. At your 80k per car, you are already up to $400k, and you have not counted the cost of production or testing yet. This is an inexplicably expensive notion, no one in their right mind would undertake such a business venture. Especially due to the limited popularity of the original model.
