If I pursue this 5-Part car design course, it may get filed under the category of "open wheeled" cars if I go too far.

A concept below following that route.........25 hp pancake motor at each wheel.

I have given up on the open wheel thing after reading many posts in this forum. However, adding a ground plane floor and tear-dropping the wheels could have the same end result (a 5-Part Car).

5-Part car example:
