There's a reason those clear bubble-type roofs don't make it out of the showroom - greenhouse effect.
The T-Flite looks almost aero, but it is big and heavy Plus the fins...
the front wheels are cool, but what about steering?

It pleases me, aesthetically. I wouldn't want to sit in that car right after it's been sitting in the sun with that canopy closed all day though.
