Well, if we're talking about radical bodies mine would look a lot like an Aptera 2E, electric drive, solar panels on top to minimally increase range... Yeah, that'd do it. It wouldn't really need modification as it would be the most aerodynamic vehicle I can think of. Maintenance would be next to nothing since its electric. All you have to do is plug it in to recharge...

If thats too radical, a EV converted first gen Honda Insight would also get the job done. Add the usual aeromods to it like a grill block, belly pan and boat tail and you'd have an amazing vehicle.
