Cool... It reminds me of my little sports car (See Cool New MOCs page),
which the hardest part was fitting all those mechanisms in that tiny car...
and creating those mechanisms from other parts (problem that I think I'm the
only one who has it)...
Remembering my little car gives me some ideas, maybe not for reducing size,
but adding more functions in a small pack: for example, use a rear live axle
setup (it will save you a lot of space, but may not be as interesting as a
rear independent setup) and maybe you can add a front suspension set up...
but it will be slightly wide (up to 14 studs as far as I know, please tell
me if you can reduce its width), add pop-up headlights (it won't take too
much space), etc... Good job
But I would like more details for the Buggy: does it have suspension? Are
there more functions? Can you post a .ldr file? If I'm not wrong, did you
use only parts from 8437 Future Car? Good job... I would like to see more
details of both cars

Yes - the problem was not the width of the rear axle (it should be possible to shave off abother 2 studs there and retain independent suspension) but the steering mechanism at the front, with the wheels against the cylinder block on full lock.
