A much faster car,but unstable on the Mulsanne Straight.
Also,maybe,1959 (Brian)Lister-Jaguar,body by Frank Costin (LOTUS)
Whoops!

It's Okay, what did you think of the Bosley Interstate with its dropped nose (for downforce)?
It has the pontoon fenders and low hood of the Volkhart-Saggita V2. Imagine the V-S cabin grafted on the Bosley or or the Bosley nose on the V2.
Some interesting things here:

Reduce the rake and untruncate the rear and this looks like it should slide nice.
Good work on the resixing algorithms. Bu now upside down.

I like it too. Compressing air efficiently involves removing and adding heat, but I guess that means 'free' air conditioning.
Modern supercars have so much air moving through the body that the ductless highboy design might have less drag.
I'd miss side windows though.
