Sadly, if this did reach mass production in anything close to its current form, I doubt it would find many buyers even at an economy-car price. It deviates too much from what people expect a "car" to be. This has Cd 0.189; Hucho mentioned he expects production cars to reach 0.20 "and that's it," and I'm inclined to agree with him.

That said, I would give my eye teeth to have one of these.
Hucho also says cars could achieve the drag minimum of Cd 0.09 if it were important enough to the product planning committees.TV advertising could get every driver on Earth to want one within 72-hours if they were serious. Just get rid of lobbyists and see what happens.
