I don't see what you see, I see a couple of big dead air pockets up front with no redirecting or venting of air flow or air pressure.
I also see a very flat floor in the interior picture as seen in your link.
I want to see this design work, and think it can work, but just not getting enough information at this point.

Roof taper = Good
Rear diffuser = Too steep
Rear roof corners = Interesting vortex generators (
hope they help more than they hurt)

Its exterior design adopts a diamond-shaped cabin that narrows towards the rear

So the glass canopy narrows at the rear, but those rear wheel haunches trailing curve edges wipe out any gains.
It's a handsome design, just needs some aerodynamic reworking.
