Where was the car manufactured? Who were the engineers who contributed to making the car? Were they only Ghanaians or Dutch or mixture? Which part were manufacture in Ghana?
The who report is a marketing ploy, nonsense!!!

Exactly, what about the Apostle's numerous inventions. This reporting is plain garbage and makes little sense.

Why do you declare made in Ghana car originally manufactured by artisans of the Suame magazine in Kumasi as a propaganda stunt or marketing plot and therefore nonsence\.I have been following the story of this car from its inception to the present stage which in my mind is a technological achievement by artisns as we popularly call them in this case, fitters, with the help of Ghanaian mechanical engineers,and some interested parners from Niederlands.what is wrong with having a partnership with a whiteman in an invention by Ghanaians.Do you see our ignorance here\.There are several cars like Octavia from the Check Republic and the most popular car in Spain and Fiat from Italy have all been innovated by VW company,s engineers in Germany and are now been rated among some of the best cars in Europe and the world at large.Some Africans have got their minds polluted by bogus idiologies and they do not appreciate anything made by the whiteman.What beats my mind is that,most of the things we learn or study in our schools and Universities are all about the white mans culture or civilization and for that reason we must not dismiss the whiteman,s ideas completely from the stages of our civilization, but rather make,create and innovate it to our advantage.

More "top" info: 1. It is built in Suame Magazine, from locally crafted, refurbished and used parts from different brands of (discarded) cars;It is built in a time frame of 12 weeks.....
Source of inspiration is the Buafo (literal translation: carrying help), a pickup truck prototype developed in the 1970s as part of an effort by the government to create a home-grown car industry.
--- How stupid, to believe, an Home Made car, like this could change anything! There are lots of people in Europe, building their own cars for fun, and drive them. Home Made cars are nothing special, but rather, as from Ghana "exotic". That`is it!

This is what Ghanaian s have been waiting for since independence and i believe the government give 100% support so that we can now also be economic independent instead of administrative independence that we are currently going through.His Excellency the president John Mahama said in his nation's address that we should learn to use made in Ghana products,and if he really mean what he said then,the PRESIDENT should first use the SMATI Turtle car as a presidential car so that the rest of us will emulate from him.May this technological advancement become reality.

Do you know Ghana has tyre factory in Bonsah in the western region? and do you know Ghana produces rubber at Bunso in the eastern region? Do you know Ghana has glass factory at Aboso in the western region? All these can produce what you are talking about, if only and only ndc will stop the hate because what God has blessed no body can curse is then that Ghana will progress.God has a purpose for enriching some parts of the world if you hate and envy you will never see the glory of God.

Just googled the car and looked at the picture. Are we joking? Why would money be spent to promote this car which in all reality is going nowhere.

THE TOYOTAS, HONDAS, ACURAS,JEEPS, BENTLEYS WERE ALL STARTED THE SAME WAY AS THE SMATI-TURTLE. WHEN THE KOREANS STARTED THEIR HYUNDAI IT WAS HORRIBLE AND NOBODY WANTED TO BUY IT BUT TODAY HYUNDAI HAS SOME CLASSY ONES LIKE THE GENESIS AND THE EQUUS. JUST WAIT AND SEE. IN FEW YEARS THE DUTCH-GHANA SMARTI-TURTLE WILL BE ALL OVER WEST AFRICA.

Are you joking. The technology exists to make something far better than this. They could have just bought parts for toyotas and hondas and put them together. Why do we need to start from the scratch when it has already been done. I hope the government is not spending tax payers money to support this.
