Interesting - to maintain structural integrity, the body is one piece and the top could either slide or flip. They incorporated the fuel tank into the rear wing, while a low-pressure zone at the front wing was pulling out exhaust...at least, I think I read that right.

It also stated that at high speed, the wings would cause an air cushion effect. Scary. As if those old cars didn't have enough trouble holding the road, let's reduce contact with the road!
