I think the rendering makes it look like the roof is glass, but I don't think it is. They will be show the actual car in the next month or two, and we'll get a better look at it.
The front wheel fairings are now fixed, as far as I know. They must have enough room on the inside for the wheels to pivot. The suspension is still inside the wheels.
It appears to be a three door - one on the left/driver's side and two on the right/passenger's side. The chassis is now an aluminum extrusion that surrounds the passenger compartment; rather than the steel tubes used on the earlier versions. The front bumper was required, and the Cd is only a little bit higher than the 0.164 (by the new SAE standard - it is ~0.145 by the older standard IIRC) of the X-Prize cars.
