There are some realities that intrude on aero design.

The human body has a finite number of positions you can bend it into and expect it to tolerate.

Mechanical components need space and only come in a limited number of arrangements.

Auto fashion is for ridiculously large-diameter wheels set at the corners.

Unibody design imposes its own set of limitations.

You probably have hit the limits.
