Finding these pictures is awesome -- I feel like I want to build one!
With articulated front wheel skirts, the width and stability could be addressed.
A modernized (read: safer and lighter weight structure) an EV version of this design would be a stunner. It could be made narrower and the front track could be widened. You would probably want to keep the proportions close, and the trailing edge behind the rear wheels, also probably some wheel strakes -- could make this design close to perfect.
For the aero geeks among us, check out the high resolution pictures of the wind tunnel(s) from the 1930's in Germany -- the link is above in post #39.
