I want an aerodynamic shape, but i also want relative safety (better front crumple zone and side impact protection than this seems to have).

The drawing has the driver over the front axle, but the actual car seat is further back.
Check the position of the backrest; it is behind the trailing edge of the front door. The driver will have his feet between the front wheels, not ahead of them.
That car would need a big airco, that's the main problem. And it would be noisy.

For education go to people unlike yourself.

And it's impossible to run a squeegee or rag over the inside of the windshield.

They could have put the rear end a meter aft and made it a trike.

That looks similar in several ways to the new Ford GT and Le Mans LMP1 cars.
