There could be a better safety structure within the front of this car - it would be rounded, so that would deflect the car (as opposed to engaging) from what you were hitting. Your feet are always the first part of you to be involved in the crash - what matters is how the structure is engineered.

The aerodynamics of this M-1000 are about as close to ideal as I've seen; short of the Pillbug or the Dolphin. It ain't perfect, but it shows that Alberto Morelli has chops... but we already knew that, right?
