I didn't realize when you emailled me about the 1/X that you were planning a post. The result is lovely, but for two overlooked items: a) there are pictures of the Hypercar about on the net. This nice of a round-up deserves to include one. (I've forwarded an email with a few) b) There is a German start-up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loremo) building a car on these principles. It's design is unconventional...okay, bizarre, in several respects (no side doors), but it's a 2+2 (two adults + two kids) seater, and anything but vaporware. I believe any discussion of hyper-aero and weight-reduced design automobiles should include mention and pics of the Loremo. Ha!
