Foam and fiberglass sandwich structure, sculpted into aero shape a la Hucho.

Maybe do a knockoff of some of the German pre-WWII designs, which were hyper-efficient.

If a two-wheeler is suitable, use Battle Mountain HPV designs for guidance. After all, the latest of these got ~83 mph on equivalent of <0.5 hp.

The more aero the shape & lighter the vehicle, the less power and therefore heat needed to propel it.
