There is a guy in the UK who runs a Rover SD1 with a Chieftan tank engine in it (24 litre V12). The engine pokes into the cabin so a conventional screen is impossible. He uses acrylic / plexiglass / perspex type of material. Most of the time he doesn't run with wipers as they would scratch the screen. He only fits them when the car goes for the MOT (safety) test or in really bad weather.

Obviously the screen will get marked and scratched over time but he just replaces it every couple of years - he describes it like getting a new set of eyes ;-)

He did the Nurburgring in it lates last year and has a target of 200mph eventually.
