I picked this thread because it had zero response and I want you to see this. I want to propose something to someone, and I seek your estimation.

A stock Arcimoto FUV weighs 1200lb and has 80HP. Koenigsegg has as new, very similar drivetrain that weighs 200lb and has 670HP www.motortrend.com/news/koenigsegg-gemera-quark-terrier-motor-specs-details/
I'm interested in a four-wheel class so add 200lb, 100 for drivetrain and 100 for a tandem bogey rear.

Assume a sub 0.20 Cd (Arcimoto front A-arm suspension), and 1400/670 power to weight ratio. For purposes of argumentation, what would the Cd be?
