So it's not real, it is interesting.
It's visually quite interesting.
Traveling left-to-right:
*the nose is a fail (channeling air under the car)
*the sides below the greenhouse are a fail due to suction peaks/pressure spikes playing havoc with the boundary layer.
*Lack of significant actual plan taper kills meaningful pressure recovery,leading to lower base pressure.
*Backlight looks too aggressive.
*Rear slope looks too aggressive.
*Consumers would probably love it!
Traveling the opposite direction wouldn't necessarily correct any of its problems.
