Hi,

Like the Aptera 2e, very little of the body shape is a styling decision -- it is dictated by the aerodynamics. The styling decisions are limited to the "2D" surface graphics of the windows, lights, etc. Even the color of the Bionic/Boxfish Mercedes is driven by the color of the boxfish itself -- we should be happy that they did not try to imitate the spots!
