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”.

That belongs in the 'Most Un-Aerodynamic Cars' Forum. A POS, made for people with SFBs.

Why do you say that? Not the people part, the un-aerodynamic part? Does it need running boards? I always picture something like that with a Beetle body and hood grafted on. For passenger space and ingress/egress.

I think because from his point of view a box van would be more aero efficient. That thing is just throwing air everywhere but straight back, much like a phantom F4 loaded to the hilt but it looks marvelously dahling.

Not seeing it. Other than the outside mirrors, what is throwing air everywhere? It has a nose like a super-train, the front fenders are ventilated on the inside following modern supercar practice, and the tandem seating reduces the frontal area.

If it had side-by-side seating it would look fairly conventional [for the time].

I like some of the details.

• The double-stacked front bumper with tow hooks inbetween.
• The ladder is a wooden girder with a metal upper section.
• The recessed ladder on the starboard side appears to be about 8-10" wide.

A ripoff of the Tesla Model Y according to Transport Evolved.

They punted on the Falcon doors, but I like it. If the gull-wing was removable for a T-top that would be even better.

"Stubby" civic racer.

A loooot of metalwork went into that, but the results seem like a net improvement.

It is much lower / longer than the Model X - which is the model referenced on Transport Evolved.

Except it only has renderings, so I'm calling it vaporware.

Were the results measured? (It looks like increased drag and rear lift to me (from the shape of the top side, don't know if the secret diffuser is doing anything))

What is that, a roof graft?

How about an aero-Jeep?
