To help us out for your aero concept is a narrowed design criteria of what you want to accomplish. This way your we could have an engine, powertrain, drive, passenger/cargo configuration & car size (i.e., city, subcompact, compact, mid, full, etc) classification defined. And what is probably the most difficult thing to settle is what do you define as 'decent looking'. Pure aero forms would either look biomorphic (fish-like) or mathematically-defined forms, it would look odd to most and people usually are accustomed to well defined proportions set by the car design industry. Besides the Loremo & RX 7, what other examples do you consider a 'decent' inspiration for your project. A 'clean' paper project is going to be a great project. Even a heavily modded existing platform chassis with a new 'kitted' aero shape would still be a great challenge and would be closely followed by this group, if you don't mind a design-by-'enthusiast'-committee.
