Height would be 8 inches ground clearance plus 50 inches for the actual vehicle body. Width is right at 64 inches, so the front wheels can be covered with skirts. Best guess on frontal area is 60-65% of the Fiesta.

I remember reading a long time ago that a Honda CRX required 7 HP to go 55 MPH. That was the original 84 CRX 1.3 which one of the car rags drove at 55 MPH and got 72 MPG when the car first came out in the summer of 83. My Crx 1.5 was built in July 93 and it was serial number 1018. Bought it brand new when I was working at the Benz dealership just north of Houston.

The bottom will be flat except for the front and rear wheel openings.
