The potential aero-improvements are huge.
Double the average speed of the NEDC to a more realistic 65kph / 40mph, and the 1930s aero solutions will pop up again.

I wish they'd reproduce old designs- not retro distillation, but actually remaking old classics. The biggest problem is probably either that the tooling no longer exists or that they'd have to redesign everything BUT the body to comply to modern vehicle laws.

That's the coolest 93 I've ever seen! Thank you for that!
The other one looks like they have been studying Jaray's Tatras VERY closely haha.
ALSO! Update. I bought some huge foam core pieces today (like 40" long- fit
easily in the Probe) but will still need to double them up to cut out the 67" profile of the car. Hopefully I'll be able to get that done tomorrow night. It's already midnight (!) and I've got some financial aid stuff to take care of
Also finished a sweet dry point print of a Voisin Laboratoire. I'll post it in a few weeks when i get it back from the prof
