Don’t get me wrong, the street luge is the absolute indisputable champ when it comes to moving the human shape along the ground with the least wind resistance.

You look at this car and the VW 1L you see a world of similarity. Both are essentially hot-dog (others may use a more pornographic metaphor) shapes. The VW 1L hugs the ground where this car uses wheel pants and lifts the car up out of ground effect a la Aptera. But the basic shape is similar.

Rather than a pickup truck, I look at this and think about using the same basic shape and put the driver in a more comfortable seating position. I couldn’t imagine driving this thing more than a few miles. OK making the driver more upright and maintaining the shape will require the vehicle to be longer. That’s not a bad thing for a 2f1r trike. A longer wheelbase will make it more resistant to ground looping.

This shape beats the VW 1L in that it looks most resistant to high centering. As with the later-version Aptera, the wheel pants will have to be chamfered back a bit both on entry and departure angles, but that is a small concern.
