The 1973 was rated 46 HP gross.
Frontal area 26 sq ft
Drag coefficient 0.4 (
CC VW Karmann Ghia)
CdA = 10.4 square feet?
The 2004 Prius had a 0 - 60 of 10.4 seconds, weighed 2,903 pounds, had 110 horsepower gross, and Cd of 0.26 (

Here is the calculator I do not know how to use.

It says the KG should have a 12.8 0 - 60! It estimates 11.3 for the Prius, though.
So... what kind of acceleration can we expect from this creation?
It will have the Prius airbags? How would you guestimate its safety on a scale of stock Karmann Ghia to stock Prius?
