Yeah, though I have a hard time understanding the third picture. If the things on top of the car are supposed to be wings, they're remarkably un-aerodynamic. On the other hand, if they're retractable laser blaster pods, I want!

For open doors they don't look to be that much of a drag... 
Sweet machine... wonder if my knees would be pinned to my chest in that like in a Turbo Esprit?

It's knee-high to a grasshopper. Think you could get in it?
The steering wheel hasta come off for ingress/egress.

Why not just run an R/C car around?

100-mpg
The windshield is a home-run.From the smoke you can see that the rear aspect of the roof/backlite is a bit "fast",with flow separation.Would need adjustable ride-height for daily driving.She's sweet!Hard to argue with the mpg.

It has a diesel. You'd need the resources of VW or Daimler-Benz to get the EPA to approve it.
Many Euro-makers have diesels. Few have the guts/money to get US EPA approval. And California is even worse.
