I always liked this concept. The STELLA Vie is pretty much an enclosed-wheel version of it.

If they cleaned up the front struts and stuff, could be very aerodynamic.

The Raht Racer is the world's first highway safe biking vehicle that amplifies pedal power to car speeds. Can it really make it up to 70 mph?

The overall profile is good. Ingress/egress not so much.
I know it needs cabin ventilation, but leaving holes behind the upper coil-over mount seems primitve.
They could use flat composite A-arms as traverse-leaf springs (3D printed airfoils with voids) and make the steering knuckles bio-morphic-ike for small scale streamlining.
