@xXTheShadowVietXx Thanks for your comment on the car.The shape and styling of the body is all about efficienctly gliding through the wind with minimal drag...hence the estimated mileage of 94 mpg at 65mph is achieveable using an OEM turbo 3 cyl engine in the prototype. The R and D car will use the same engine but will incorporate a brake energy recapture system as well as enhanced thermal efficiency levels to boost mileage much higher than the prototype.I'm pleased that you like it.
@DasIstEmpy Thanks for your kind words! We need to learn to be efficient with our energy use. It starts with drag reduction and finishes with thermal efficiency advances.
@m1aws About those "blades" at the back,I don't foresee a problem.However if there is that feature can be altered to suit requirements . The ride height will be variable on the car via hydraulics over the suspension.The rear glass will be made from light wieght acrylics which could have a tint or have louvered shielding.That will be determined on the prototype.Number plate location is designed is designed to fit Northamerican plates.Wheel access via removable skirts.List answers to follow.
@inagod Thanks for your comment. The enclosed motorcycle thing -well that is being done by a few differant groups. One thing at a time for me. This car the Zoleco will definately be a weekend fun machine with fantastic mileage,zippy handling and phenominal performance depending on the drive system chosen. All this in a very safe, practical and exciting expression of where the future of personal transportation needs to go to conserve energy. Zoltan
Great work here! I'm even impressed by the turntable!

Nice shape but.... It would never pass safety requirements in Europe with those blades at the back.
Why have you set it so low? Thats impractical.
If you are having curved glass like that, it will be heavy and will grab too much Sun, you will cook inside.
Front/Rear numberplate location?
wheel servicing?
Oh the list goes on :(

to go along with that you need to design a enclosed motorcycle,the weekend fun machine,performance and milage,yes you can have both.
