I notice the Hadron Kickstarter is now up and running:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1020977294/hadron-xr-kit-car-worlds-most-affordable-super-car/description

19 days to go, and they're short of their funding goal at the minute.

Project cancelled 2 days ago.

Hmm .. that floor isn't as clean as Crewkerne .. !

Yes - I saw it said cancelled by Project Starter - They must have thought they'd started a mint ..
Hopefully, the legal eagles got going and threatened to sue the backsides off one and all ..

My theory is either they were so far from succeeding (~10%) they didn't want to be marked as failed, so cancelled instead (you see a fair amount of this on Kickstarter).  Or as you suggest, they faced legal action.

Another 2 seat lightweight - the headlight shape looks familiar (tvr sagaris? )

I'm sure this one's been mentioned before, but figured this latest article might be of interest (not read it yet myself so I'm not sure if it's new info):-

Not a bad looking thing, but I can't help feeling there must be quite a few compromises in 'slapping' a body over the Atom's chassis in that way (or perhaps not!)

Look very similar to those in the 'make-over' motor John posted here
