The justification is based on the book. Did you read the thread?

Look at the space between the front seat and the reeear seat. This vintage tugboat-looking car looks like it could have a seat added => 7-10 people.

The point: How good is this general shape/strategy? Make a smaller version, streamline the wheels, and maybe you're at 0.20 cD (or lower)? And it looks to have a relatively small frontal area.
