Craig, why not start with the human-powered designs as seen at the Battle Mountain HPV competition. Last I checked, they were up to ~81 mph on human power, which reportedly can muster only about ~1/2 hp. Obviously, to get such results necessitates very good aero design. That said, seems to me even those streamliners are not the final word on efficiency.
