Your design has bobtail (short rear overhang) proportion gives it a great shorter track-car look but a longer overhang will give you better controlled trailing flow. The trailing rear tire eddies will be minimized & your lower belly air channeled cleaner.

Your pretty spot on. Similar to a Riley (very similar sides,actually) but also a hundred other track cars. but set up for smoother flow than downforce. A tiny supercar with high mpg. An easy 1.1 g street car that can go higher with a wing etc. And easily breaks the Lotus7/Mini 120-130 mph brick wall. By the way,
1500 lbs. is fully loaded, maybe even with 25 lbs. of sound proofing, lol.
