[QUOTE=freebeard;629407]Is that a Sprite with a headlight mod?

I think it was an MG midget, I took the photo months ago, back when indoor car shows were allowed. If I was taking it for Ecomodder I would have got more angles.



Lotus eleven? from the same show.

Nice covered wheels, airflow looks like it will be well attached until the windscreen.

We know from the NASCAR draft that, in convoy driving, these 'pods' would have remarkably-low drag.

Chrysler Airflow

By 1934-1/2, Carl Breer and his team had cut its drag from Cd 0.51, to Cd 0.244.
They didn't publish the results until a couple of weeks after Pearl Harbor. Folks had that to think about as we entered the Second Global Petroleum War, as we failed to learn from the first one.

msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts: Delage is back from the dead to join the hypercar fray

A tandem two-seater.
Quote:
France’s Delage, dead for nearly 70 years, is coming back from the grave in the form of this 1085 hp D12 hypercar.

The D12 mostly follows a standard formula with a carbon fiber tub and body, a massive internal combustion engine, and an electric motor thrown in to appease the emissions police. In Delage’s case the engine is a 7.6-liter V12 delivering drive through an eight speed manual—yes, manual—transmission. Top speed is a claimed 233 mph while 0-62 mph is said to take just 2.8 seconds.

"It is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow." Cars like that are a sign of insane levels of wealth, and total disregard for sustainability.

So... 🤔

If I play my cards right, a car like that may be in my future...???

Cool...

Almost there then...

I already possess 2 out of the 3 qualifications... 😉

Although I would rather have a “Koenigsegg Regera”.
