Thanks for that. I think the challenge with both the Morelli and the ideal profile is neither one accounts for the wheels. The Morelli designed "banana" car had actual wheels (and engine cooling) and therefore is realistic. Obviously, the wheels have to be accounted for, and if outboard wheels are used, then the interaction between them and the main body need to be taken into account.
