Right, back on topic!
Q: which of these designs has the best compromise of light weight, good aerodynamics and efficiency, and structural integrity and crash worthiness?
VW 1L with tandem seating for 2 and a canopy entry at ~1100 pounds
Aptera 2e with side-by-side seating for 2 and scarab doors at ~1700 pounds
Loremo with back-to-back seating for 4 (smallish people/kids) and large hatch doors (front and rear) at ~1400 pounds
Or a theoretical vehicle like Gordon Murray's T25 with seating for 3 (driver center-front and the 2 passengers behind and flanking) and a single side door with multiple latches (to use the door as part of the structure) at 1000-1500 pounds
