This is their internal design exercise -- it is only something that could have been... Of course, they would have to have built the 2e and sold 'em -- they are floundering and probably will not go anywhere.

This is the first/only glimpse of what they were hoping to develop as a second car. And yes the Morelli design is the "banana" car. This has a more elegant solution for the rear wheels -- it is really hard to have an "ideal" aerodynamic shape "floating" above the ground, and have the wheels not mess things up.
