Looks to me more like a real-world ground level test rig for ejection seats

Golf has better aerodynamics:
But they share the problem of a short wheelbase/wide track at high speed.

It wasn't noticeable at 140, however could be a GTI aspect: lower and stiffer therefore much more responsive to smaller inputs

Not sure to which extent, but the front clip of this black Besta seems to be slightly better aerodynamically-wise than the white one.

But... The white Besta has a closed grille, while the black one's is open.

It's not really open, it just mocks a conventional grille.

1930s, with a VR4:
Four cylinders, one cylinder head. Monocoque body with rear wheel drive. The headlight switch in combination with the key switch.
I like rope door pulls.

Might look quite like a half-assed job at first, but it's an interesting feature. |

Sure it's not the most aerodynamic ride out there, but it looks less unaerodynamic than its predecessor...
