[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.

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”.
