Talk about a tough packaging design ...
I can see an evolution of the Mott Taylor Aerocar, with the long driveshaft and tail permanently fixed instead of detachable. The rocker-arm front suspension is similar to the Carrera GT.

I get the Photoshop sketch in the sense of some air management for down-force and or radiators up front GT40-ish. Otherwise it's more convoluted than my eyes want to see at this time...

Following the template sections I fail to see an increase in tangent angles of 2x for the sides.
If you don't, I don't know how to help. It's the same curve just times two. The top is isolated from the bottom by the sides.

I wasn't thinking of massive cooling and downforce, so much as managing the wheelwells. Interestingly the Aeromobil (cue up Chuck Berry) shows a similar front wheelwell. Are those front wheels supposed to retract?
