I don't see what you see, I see a couple of big dead air pockets up front with no redirecting or venting of air flow or air pressure.

I also see a very flat floor in the interior picture as seen in your link.

I want to see this design work, and think it can work, but just not getting enough information at this point.

Roof taper = Good

Rear diffuser = Too steep

Rear roof corners = Interesting vortex generators (hope they help more than they hurt)

Its exterior design adopts a diamond-shaped cabin that narrows towards the rear
So the glass canopy narrows at the rear, but those rear wheel haunches trailing curve edges wipe out any gains.

It's a handsome design, just needs some aerodynamic reworking.
