Not a car, but the most aero motorcycle I've seen from the factory...

Watching the video, it would be super easy for the back end of that thing to slide out from under you, though.

My car buddy Bruce showed me a die cast model of that in his collection last night after the Battle of the Brits car show in Milford, MI.

He must have over a thousand scale models, and several dioramas, the largest of which about 3'x7' and is all lit up.

He said it was a special vehicle made for the 24 hours of LeMans parade (modified from a bus). I guessed that they had GoGo dancers on the roof, he said no it was a small orchestra and they had an elevator to get the performers and equipment up.

His model is in a light blue, like the Gulf blue.
