How about a car so aerodynamic it can fly?

Yikes! No thanks.
They reference the Moulton Taylor Aerocar, then reject the novel way it drove the propeller. They probably got 5 years into the project and realized they should have gone with an electric propeller driven by a serial-hybrid powerplant in the car.
Aannnd... They skip right over the car that came inbetween,

I'd want to have a belly-band cinch strap. At least they doubled up on the wing struts that killed the Mizar's inventor.
And, the Elise is 1500lb. The Edison2 VLC will be ~1000lb. A much better choice for a platform.
