I'd definitely put my money down on a car like that. I agree with the previous comment that it goes to show you really can be creative even on a very aero-oriented design.

It just needs to be the right weight, and have the right engines. I'd be really disappointed if it was any heavier than something like a MINI and they'd given it masses of power to compensate (as is the trend with things like hot hatchbacks at the moment).

I'm thinking around 1000kg... two or three cylinder engine of no more than about 1200cc, either turbocharged, supercharged or both, or a hybrid motor... well, it's fun to dream...
