Interiot: stub sort... maybe it's slightly questionable whether it's a motorsport, but Category:Land speed records is under Category:Auto racing by type, so...

Stout Scarab

Interiot: sharpen cat

The '''Stout Scarab''' was a limited production [[United States|U.S]] automobile built by Stout Engineering Laboratories of [[Detroit, Michigan]]. Production of a running prototype [[Scarab]] was finalized in [[1935]] and the car’s inventor [[William B. Stout]] issued a statement that car would be produced in limited quantities and sold to those who were invited to buy.

The Scarab was not like other cars of the era. Instead of the usual front engine and rearward passenger compartment, the Scarab placed the [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]-built [[Ford Flathead engine|V8 engine]] in the rear of the vehicle. The Scarab's body was designed by [[John Tjaarda]], and provided an observation car like environment for on the sides and front, while rearward vision was almost nil. Passengers entered through a single common door; seating for the passengers could be configured in almost any means possible, with the exception of the driver whose seat was fixed. Interiors was appointed in [[leather]], [[chrome]] and wood. Design elements also worked in a stylized ancient Egyptian "[[scarab]]" motif, including the car's emblem.

Following [[World War II]], Stout again attempted to field another Scarab in [[1946]]. Total production of the first generation Scarab is estimated at no more than six.
