The attraction of building a car in the same manner I would a hovercraft, with Monopan is an important part of this concept. It is just not as important at the model stage.

Curving glass would not be so simple, but the windshield is just a slice of a cone in this design.

This would be a car for myself, screw what anybody else wants, I'm creating art here.
I like the simplicity,I would like to see you reduce the frontal area,why not narrow the car ,like the XL1,you end up with less overall weight,better aerodynamics,how about fans in the rear, verse's extending and tapering the body work?would it work?is it worth the extra hardware,electrical load,etc?We all bring something to the table,too bad we all weren't in a shop together,building a open source commuter vehicle,200 plus mpg,turbo diesel,electric,that also is comfortable,has good ergonomics,really good looking.Driving to LA to NY on 50 dollars plus,yes.
